AURIO (3) has the most reliable profile, with consecutive thirds at Happy Valley and a proven record at this track and distance. He has been respected in the market, handles 1200m well and gets Zac Purton back aboard, so he looks the runner with the strongest all-round case. MEGASTAR HEART (4) is a genuine danger after winning by two lengths at this venue first-up, and his compact career record says there is still scope to hold that form. LUCRATIVE EIGHT (11) was only beaten two and a half lengths when resuming and his one win and four places from six starts at this track and distance keep him firmly in calculations. SPICY STANDARD (9) was disappointing as favourite last time, but his prior Class 4 win was sharp, blinkers go on first time and his track-and-distance record gives him a clear route back into the race.
