BIRDMAN (1) has to give these all weight but brings the class form having run on well for sixth in the Caulfield Cup last time out behind Cups double champ Half Yours. The run prior in The Metropolitan was also very good when too far back and McDonald on here is a huge positive. STAR OF INDIA (7) improved nicely third up to win the JRA Cup, finishing strongly off a fast pace to win well. 2600m is some query but he's out of two fast races that give him a nice platform. BERKELEY SQUARE (2) is going well without winning. The run two back in the G3 Bart Cummings in a fast race reads well and the draw looks to suit. SCARY (14) was much better in the G2 Moonee Valley Cup last time out and has claims off that. SAYEDATY SADATY (3) has the ideal run to win the Bendigo Cup last time but draws to effect again.
