THE CUNNING FOX (3) is showing some sound recent flat form. Missed the placings two back then raced just off the pace to wind-up second at Geelong over 2460m last start. Well-placed to take this out. AFFLUENTIAL (2) is looking to improve on a last-start fifth on the flat over 2400m at Sandown-Lakeside on April 9. Partnered again by Will Gordon who is building a great record when aboard. Sure to make his presence felt. STERN IDOL (1) resumed after a 228-day spell last start with a respectable third on the flat at Sandown-Hillside over 3000m, beaten 0.7 lengths. Reliable jumper with 10 wins and one minor placings from 20 starts over the obstacles. Second-up record reads well, with four wins and zero placings from seven runs. Decent chance again in this line-up. RIGHT NOW (5) hasn't been seen for eight months. Ran an improved last time finishing third in a hurdle (3250m) at Ballarat, beaten 7 lengths. Looks hard to fault this line-up.
