PIVOT CITY (12) was in the money two starts back at Bendigo but couldn't back it up last time when tenth, beaten 2 lengths, at Caulfield over 1200m. Finds a nice race and can atone. NAMESAKE (8) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by a nose over 1200m at Caulfield. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. RUE DE ROYALE (20) hasn't been far away lately, last time finishing fifth over 1400m at this track, and gets some weight relief today. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. HOME RULE (7) sat close to the pace last time out but faded to finish eighth, beaten 6 lengths over this journey in the LR The Wangoom at Warrnambool. Will find this much easier. Solid claims on his best form.
