MISTER WAYSIDE (4) improved last start to finish second over 1207m at Remington Park after being in the firing line on the bend. Worth noting Roman Cruz goes aboard. Meeting a deeper field this time but he cannot be underestimated. RUNHAPPY D'ORO (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 0.8 lengths away in third over 1106m at Remington Park (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. ORDER OF MERIT (2) returns after a spell of five months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. DEVIOUS DENNIS (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1006m at Remington Park, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to figure in the finish.
