EVERYTHING BUT THE (6) galloped out but recovered to add to a string of top-three results last start when he finished third at Hobart. Has to overcame a wide barrier this time but only needs to get things right to be in contention again. HAMMER DAN (2) did a good job to come from the back row for third last start at this venue, his third placing from his last four outings. Should get his chance from a good draw. VANQUISH STRIDE NZ (5) didn't do a bad job when fifth in a higher-graded race here last time out. This suits. KEEPERS IDEAL NZ (1) is well served by the ace draw having come from there to finish runner-up here two back.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Affamato at Hobart over 2090m on June 28 at $7. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Muzzame Mate at Hobart over 2090m on July 12 at $3.40. Going along well. Top chance.
