Pace genuine with Super Joy N Fun and Sports Legend pressing hard closely followed by Happy Fat Cat and Super Fortune. SUPER JOY N FUN (8) made an impression in his debut campaign and comes into this off a 70-day break. He's had two trials since his opening stanza and now Zac Purton takes the ride on the progressive gelding. Looks to have plenty of ability and he can keep the unbeaten streak alive. SPORTS LEGEND (2) bolted in two back before another strong win over this course and distance last time out. Angus Chung hops back in the saddle this time and he'll be able to sit on the pace with ease from the inside alley. They look to have found the key with him, it's just a case of how long the trick works for. WINGS OF WAR (4) was beaten 1.8L last time out when favourite over this course and distance and is now 963 days between wins. He is knocking on the door though and he should get a nice run just off the speed. Can land the knockout blow late in the race. HUMBLE STAR (1) is better than what he showed first-up and back to this grade suits. Include.
