NEXT UP

Tony Gollan's gelding had ended last campaign with a hat trick of wins at this track and he showed he has come back in good order when 1.8L away in third at this course and distance three weeks ago.

Situation Room will be improved by that hitout and he hasn't missed the top three at this journey so is nicely placed.

Mobstar looks ready to peak and win third-up for the Kris Lees yard earlier on the program.

The five-year-old closed well when resuming in Sydney then placed last start over 6 1⁄4 f at Newcastle, beaten 2.4 lengths.

He goes up to the distance that has produced the majority of his best efforts and with race fitness on his side makes each way appeal.
