Expecting Bucephalas to take up the running with Ka Ying Attack and Good Luck Babe close at hand. LITTLE PARADISE (1) got the job done two back before a 0.3L defeat last time out over this course and distance. Purton remains with the gelding and he has the speed to slot in from a tricky draw. Looks a gelding on the rise and he can continue to work his way through the grades. TOP DRAGON (2) won easily here 42 days ago and has been back to the rails since, winning nicely under J-Mac who sticks with him today. Likely to get back from the draw once again, but only rises 2kg for the win here and rates highly on that performance. BUCEPHALAS (12) jumped a $8 chance first-up here 22 days ago and landed the knockout blow, sitting handy and getting the job done by 1.3L. He rises in grade today, but drops a stack of weight and he maps for a lovely run close to the speed. Can go back-to-back without surprising. KA YING ATTACK (4) was good from the back here first-up and is not to be discounted.
