Solid tempo expected primarily from Salt Lake Betty and Sicilian. ACTION KING (1) has been racing in a rich vein of form this campaign with two wins and two seconds from just four outings. Another to get some weight relief and rates among the leading chances. SICILIAN (16) strips fitter second-up from the break and gets the deadly Gollan/Jones combination. Top-three contender. LADY LUCIFER (15) has gone bang bang to start the preparation and it's hard to ignore winning form. Cannot be discounted. DEVASTATING (2) warmed nicely to his task late when resuming at Eagle Farm. Will appreciate the added trip and is expected to be putting in the big strides late again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Action King.
