RAILWAY DILLON was quite highly tried after his facile success at Perth a year ago and appreciated the drop in grade when runner-up here last month. He can now take advantage of a drop in the ratings though Dun Masc, who was behind him last time, was staying on strongly and will be suited by the longer trip. Billy Cuckoo was well beaten and looks held and though Beneficial Reform is slowly coming down the ratings he's still looking a few pounds high.
