Cool Jakey and Media World will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. CAPTAIN FURAI (18) talented gelding who hit a career peak fourth-up with a comprehensive victory over 1400m at Rosehill. Finds a bit more pressure here but looks up to the task. COOL JAKEY (9) shouldered the 63kg with a tough on-pace third to Captain Furai over 1400m at Rosehill last time out. Drops sharply in weight and will prove hard to get past with Rawiller aboard. Each way. LORD PENMAN (6) drops in grade and trip after closing quickly for a tidy third in the G3 Doncaster Prelude over 1500m at Rosehill. Has a stack of ability and sure to be thereabouts. FORMAL DISPLAY (19) fourth emergency desperate for a start. Unbeaten this campaign and won't know himself with the 52kg. Best form is over this trip and must be respected if he gains a start. WHINCHAT (7) gritty on-pace gelding who looks ready to go with the two slick trials. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Furai can keep the winning momentum going in this stiffer test.
