MARETH (17) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three weeks ago, beaten 2.25 lengths at the end of 1200m at Pakenham. Has plenty of upside so a big run is anticipated. LOFTY THOUGHTS (18) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 11th over 1100m in the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (Colts & Geldings) at Caulfield. Placed in a recent trial. No surprise if he was able to get off the mark. LOVING (19) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1100m at Hawkesbury, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Must be included among the main hopes. CONICAL NET (20) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished sixth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1000m at Sandown-Hillside. Has upside and worth including.
