SMOKIN' ROMANS (1) built on a nice third two starts back in the LR Mornington Cup with success over 2350m in the LR Warrnambool Cup two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a head. Finds a suitable race and can make it two in succession. ALMA RISE (18) found her best form last time out with an easy win over 2100m at Echuca. Further improved, the extra ground is a plus, and she is among the leading chances. BERKSHIRE BREEZE (12) finished 1.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2400m at Mornington four weeks ago as $2.2 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Is one of the contenders. THROUGH IRISH EYES (11) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a neck last start over 3200m at Warrnambool. Tougher assignment this time but can figure in the finish.
