EGOMANIA (5) showed little early speed last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish third at this track over today's journey. Among the top chances. BAK TO LIBERTY (1) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1710m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BUTTONWOOD TREE (2) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at this track before finishing third, beaten 8 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better. VECTOR (3) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2 lengths away in second over 1710m at this track. Well-placed and can feature in the finish.
