PHILATELIC (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Warwick Farm, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. RHEGION (3) finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1280m at Muswellbrook after he was in the firing line on the bend. It doesn't get any easier but he is one of the key runners. PREDICTING (2) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1200m at Newcastle, an improvement on his sixth at Goulburn the run before. Going up a level this time but he deserves another chance. STONEGATE LANE (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1200m at Kembla Grange at the second run back from a spell. Better than recent efforts suggest.
