CHARITIES (9) hadn't been far away prior to finishing 9 lengths adrift in 12th last start over 1600m at Caulfield. Should enjoy the significant drop in grade. Will be hard to stop. ASAWIN (4) has been in good form, scoring three back at Ararat then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was handy all the way over 1400m at Ballarat. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. GEFFINA (8) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1406m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Should measure up again. ARIZONA ACTIVIST (1) finished 3 lengths behind the winner in sixth over 1300m at Sandown-Hillside last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Faces a far less daunting assignment this time. Don't underestimate.
