Plenty of early pressure primarily from Mighty Commander, Prestige Always and Green N White. PRESTIGE ALWAYS (3) showed enough in his debut HK campaign, finishing with a 2.3L defeat over this course and distance. He's had 3 trials coming into this and his last two were superb, all with Zac Purton in the saddle who sticks with him today. He looks as though he's acclimatised well and he can get back to winning ways today. KING MILES (2) was super at the end of last season, winning 3/4 to end his season. His recent trial was impressive under a hold, though thee wide alley is a slight niggle. Still has plenty of upside though and shapes as an exciting prospect going forward. SUPER GOLDI (6) closed off well at his last start and was good in his recent trial. He should be prominent from the draw and suspect we haven't seen the best of him just yet. Can make his presence felt. NOT USUAL STAR (8) ran on well first-up and looks ready for the rise in trip with his strong second-up record. Sure to run a big race off the inside.
