Gallant Son should lead at a strong tempo. STANLEY EXPRESS (3) resumes. He won the $1 million Showdown on debut at Caulfield in fine fashion and was spelled thereafter. Looks an untapped prospect who can take this out. GALLANT SON (8) was dominant winning by six lengths on debut at Sale. More depth here but likely lands in front and will be very hard to catch. STAY FOCUSED (2) was sound fresh behind Growing Empire fresh before struggling against that horse at Flemington last time. Jury out on him but his 2yo form was very good for this. STOLI BOLLI (6) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stanley Express to win.
