The gelding missed by just a nose at Doomben two back then joined the O'Dea/Hoysted team before a luckless effort last start, beaten just 1.1L when never fully clear.
Osamu draws wider but that should afford him some room to work with and give him every chance to break through.
A step up to his favourite trip suits Rock Amore in the last of the day.
Tony Gollan's gelding made a good return when hitting the line well for a close third at Sunshine Coast.
He is proven second up and all four career wins have come at this longer trip so he ticks a few boxes.
