MARKETPLACE (9) gave his opponents no chance last start when he cruised to a 18 metres victory over 2700m at Alexandra Park. Must overcome a very wide draw. Finds a suitable assignment and will prove very tough to beat once more. FIVE CROWNS (1) scored by 13 metres at Ascot Park Raceway over 2200m last start, the second win from his past three outings. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. GOT THE CHOCOLATES (12) disappointed last time when seventh over 2700m at Alexandra Park. Can make amends. FLASHPOINT (2) is a genuine type who was second most recently at Ascot Park Raceway. Hard to rule out.
