MADE IN ITALY (3) has collected a cheque at all six starts and returns for a third campaign. Beaten narrowly at the Kensington track second-up last prep so he is not out of place in city company. Back in trip this prep with blinkers on which is noteworthy. Double-figure odds in a field of six seems generous. CANTERO (2) settled at the tail of a small field then went through the gears nicely to grab second on debut a fortnight ago over 1200m here. Might race a bit closer from a better draw. Serious contender. DEFENSEMEN (1) has been freshened up since missing narrowly over 1400m at Randwick 46 days ago. Must be respected dropping back to midweek company. AFFARI (10) returned in good order here recently and is Waller's choice for J Mac to ride. Sure to be well found and is a genuine hope. PIEDMONT (13) did a good job on debut here last start. Should take a lot from that run.
