Expecting a strong gallop with El Rey Viene and Gardener's Pride taking up the running over Pied Piper. KING'S ISLAND (5) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Best form is here on this course and distance. Deserves to break through and looks suited in this contest. Expected to be in the finish. WORLD OF OUR OWN (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at Greyville. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. RECORD HIGH (3) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1800m. Has a good gate and gets his chance to break through. FAIRE ADVANTAGE (11) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at this track. Good enough on his day and can fill a top-three spot.
