Returns off a freshening after a sound Benchmark 86 fourth as favourite. The 1800m record is the query, but the class drop gives him the right winning shape.

Back from a freshening after a heavy defeat, but his Open fifth two back and strong track place record keep him in the minor mix.

Freshened since a well-beaten first-up run and recent form is thin. The class drop helps, but she has plenty to turn around.

Gets weight relief and a kinder grade, but recent Open efforts have lacked finish. More a place hope if he sharpens up.

Better judged on his Open third two back than last start. Weight relief helps, though the 1800m win record keeps him to place claims.

Freshened after two fair mile runs and is proven around 1800m. Can run into the minors if the market push last time was a guide.

Track record offers a small positive, but he was last first-up and now tries 1800m for the first time. Improvement required.

Bolted in by eight and a half lengths after a close second the run before. Lightly raced, well placed and a major threat again.

Won well first-up at this venue and drops in weight, but 1800m is new territory and this is a tougher test.
