Ad Libitum beat Bobba Tee over track and trip last month though found Melgate Majeure too good over 1m2f here before that. Lopes Dancer was still well beaten when runner-up over course and distance last time and Monash struggled in this grade recently. Juriste looks no nearer winning but HELIX was only beaten by Hint Of Stars, who has won again since, when second here so Dave Loughnane’s charge may prove the one to side with.
