MACEDON ROSE (12) has performed well at Stakes level and presents third-up off a 1L defeat at Sandown-Hillside over this distance. She came from the back and there was a stack of merit in the effort. Just needs average luck from the awkward gate to be winning. ACTIVE DUTY (7) is threatening another win and carries 4kg less at this level. He will lead or box seat from the inside barrier and the mile is just right for him. ALL KINDS OF FOLK (10) resumed this grade at Benalla well-supported and didn't get into it after mucking the start. She'd come off a try in the Group 1 Australasian Oaks and prior missed a whisker on the Group 3 Auraria Stakes. McDougall has been aboard her last three starts and comes to ride. Finally draws an inside gate and is capable of using it. Keep very safe. EVERYTHING COUNTS (3) is an improver from a top yard and has to be kept onside.
