Expecting Monty Zoomer to set a strong tempo off the inside along with Science Degree. JUST FAMOUS (4) bolted in twice to end last campaign in dominant fashion, scoring by 2.3L as the $1.30 favourite here. He boasts a strong fresh record and Fiore remains in the saddle fresh from the break. No trial coming in, but he'll be tough to beat if he's up to the mark fresh. DONT WAIT FOR LUCK (2) resumes today after ending last campaign in Saturday grade at Ascot. He's a track and trip winner in the past, though he will need some luck from the outside draw this time. Best is good enough, just whether he's up to that level today is the query. SCIENCE DEGREE (5) has the fitness edge with a strong performance from the front here last time out, just edged out late in the race. He'll be fitter for that run and with further improvement on the cards, he can get the job done this time. CELEBRITY PRINCE (1) can feature in the finish. RUPERT'S EMPIRE (9) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Famous can pick up from where he left off.
