TAKE COURAGE (2) drew wide last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 35 metres into ninth at Marburg over 1850m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this better draw and rates a leading hope if anywhere near her best. SPECIALANDIKNOWIT (9) finished eighth last start, beaten 8 metres at Albion Park over 1660m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. IDEAL TIGER (6) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 1850m at Marburg last time out. Top-three candidate. SIGNOR JUJON (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
