Expecting Phearson to take up the running with Amenable and Felix Majestic close at hand. TOM KITTEN (4) returned a gelding when he unleashed a withering burst to score a slick victory over 1400m at Rosehill five weeks ago. Kept up to the mark with a 1030m trial placing and expecting him to repeat the performance here. FREEDOM RALLY (2) sat on the hot tempo first up when a tiring fourth over 1400m in the G2 Tramway Stakes at this track on September 7. Maps to get the right run again and his second-up figures are strong. Group 2 winner KINTYRE (10) was forced to cover ground first up when a gritty fifth over 1400m in the G2 Tramway Stakes here. Another with a sound second-up record who will be rounding them up late. AMENABLE (1) has trialled nicely and is more than capable of playing a major role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,2,10,1.
