Ambassador, Toa Rudolf and Rayel to take up the running at a strong tempo. SERVE THE MISSION (5) broke through for his maiden win over 1700m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and he is a key runner. IDEALIST (7) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. TOA RUDOLF (1) is fresh from a spell of three months and it is worth noting he has scored at the past two first-up runs, last prep over 1500m at this track. Has found the right race to kick off the campaign. BROOKLYN (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
