SIR SONNY MAGUIRE (8) has recorded two wins and three minor placings from the past five starts. Returned to winning ways at his latest appearance over 2190m at Shepparton, scoring by 14 metres after being handy from the outset. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. SOMETUFFLUV (7) was yet again about the mark last start when runner-up over 2190m at Shepparton, beaten 6 metres. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Meets a similar line up so he can add to the sound recent efforts. ILLUSTRIOUS (1) is better than his last-start eighth over 1690m at Shepparton. JAMES GARNER (5) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 2100m at Charlton.
