Loads of speed from Oscar's Fortune, I Am Me and What You Need burning turf in the early stages. OSCAR'S FORTUNE (15) is a talented three-year-old that continues to step up to the market. Wasn't far away in The Quokka behind multiple G1 winner Overpass. Has already run the figures to put him right in the finish and gets in superbly at the weights under the conditions. Expect the wizard to give him every chance. AMELIA'S JEWEL (2) has always promised so much. Started fav in The Quokka, beating OF by a head. Gives him 3kgs this time but is sure to be charging hard under Lane. JOHNNY ROCKER (9) followed up his surprising placing in the G1 William Reid with a strong effort in the TJ. Gets in well at the weights and will be breathing down their necks late. BENEDETTA (7), I AM ME (6) and CLIMBING STAR (3) all come through key lead up (Sangster) with the latter being best home. Can make a case for all three. SKYBIRD (16) was a breath-taking winner of the G2 Tobin Bronze here a fortnight ago. This is obviously tougher but she warrants respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Oscar's Fortune to win.
