Expecting a strong gallop with Bear On The Loose and Sunset Park taking up the running over Just Fine. TRAVOLTA (5) deep into the prep and gets the right tempo to put these away. Surged late in the soft (7) going with a respectable fourth over 2600m in the G2 Chairman's Quality at this track. Can race a touch closer from the draw and prove too strong late. ENCODER (6) Gold Coast-trained gelding who races best with his runs spaced. Beat a decent field with a comfortable win over 1800m in the Gold Coast Stakes five weeks ago. Since fitted with a 1400m Beaudesert trial placing. Leading chance who maps to stalk the good tempo. Leading player. PORTLAND (9) ready to win after jumping in trip with a slashing third in the G2 Sellwood at Rosehill over 2000m. Will go back from the draw and can reel off fast closing splits. Each way. BEAR ON THE LOOSE (15) started hard in the market third-up with a fading fourth over 2000m in the LR Albury Gold Cup. Kept up to the mark with a 1030m trial at Rosehill. Can take control early and return to form on the limit. NELLIE LEYLAX (12) worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Travolta can assert his class.
