NEPHEW OF SONOKO (10) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 2240m at this track, beaten 4 metres. No favours expected from this draw. Primary contender based on recent form. PERFIDIOUS SUE (6) ran third last start at this track over 2240m, beaten 3 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. LITTLE YANKEE (9) is next in line and although he has to contend with an awkward gate a win is not out of the question. DESTRIER (3) should be at his peak at the fifth run back from a spell, the latest outing a third at Warragul a week-and-a-half ago.
