Saganti and Bear On The Loose possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. STATE OF AMERICA (8) improved sharply last start when second-up from a spell, working through the line strongly to be beaten under a length over 1800m at the Kensington track. Zac Lloyd has three wins from six rides on the gelding and he reunites. Coming back to the mile is a query, but he should be peaking and a solid tempo helps. ALMANIA (1) has been freshened up since finishing 2.2 lengths behind Alalcance in a Listed race over 2000m at Randwick five weeks ago. Black-type performer who is beautifully graded and capable of winning if anywhere near right. FLYING TRAPEZE (5) had excuses when down the track in the Muswellbrook Cup recently. Back in grade on recent runs and can do better. BEAR ON THE LOOSE (6) is yet to miss the frame in three first-up runs so keep him in mind off a five-month lay-off. UK import SAGANTI (4) resumes and has been gelded since an eye-catching Australian debut in the Rosehill Gold Cup in November. Will improve off this run but still a contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: State Of America to win.
