Not much early pressure but Promenade, Rebel Elegance and Che Ole can take up forward spots. MARK OF GLORY worked home well but never looked likely when fresh from a spell over 1250m at Newcastle last time out. Draws a nice gate and gets in a little lighter under today's scale. Should be given the chance to get into a winning postion and fancy that can work out. PROMENADE (5) raced handy but lacked the change of gears required when unplaced first-up over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Can play a bigger role today over the extra 200m. CHE OLE (4) continues to race well deep into this prep. Ran third in a strong form race over this trip at Hawkesbury two back - that is a handy form reference. THINKSHE'S AUSBRED (2) caught the eye late on debut over 1100m at Hawkesbury three weeks ago. One to watch for in the dying stages. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mark Of Glory to break through.
