MIDNIGHT PIRATE (4) settled close to the pace and kept finding to finish second last start over 1654m at Ouyen, the second minor placing in a row. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. FOXY TWO GLOVES (12) has recorded two wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Went back last start then made a long incisive run to score by 2 metres at Ouyen over 1654m, making it two wins on the bounce. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Meeting a deeper field this time but she good enough to play a major role. CHOGI (7) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at Ouyen over 1654m. Must be included. ALFNALMA (11) is also in contention although the draw makes her job a bit tougher.
