Sun Spectacular should spear straight to the front of the small field. WINTER EMERALDS (2) is going well including an impressive win last time. More weight but leading rider stays aboard and expected to go close again. SUN SPECTACULAR (6) was runner-up over a mile two back then fifth back to 1400m latest. Goes well this course and distance and gets chance to atone. ROCK OF FUTURA (7) has been freshened since a narrow miss last time here over the same trip. Attractively weighted here and will be tough to hold out. GOLD GUNNER (5) ran out of condition fresh on the all weather. Has won second-up and fitter again and back to the turf can improve sharply.
