Abundant early pressure from the speedy pair Frantanck and Voyage Samurai. VOYAGE SAMURAI (6) was very impressive in his debut campaign and judging by his most recent trial, he's back in similar form. He'll get across from the outside alley and his form from last campaign stacked up strongly. Can roll to the front and pick up where he left off. M UNICORN (5) disappointed at the end of last campaign on the All Weather circuit, but he was in good form prior to that. He maps for a nice run under Hugh Bowman and while he is 0/6 at this track, if he can run up to his best figures he'll be right in the finish. FORTUNATE SON (7) gets Zac Purton in the saddle second-up after closing off nicely here 13 days ago. Out to the mile now should suit and he can sit much closer this time around. Wouldn't surprise to see him improve sharply. STAR MAC (8) is better than what he showed first-up and the tongue tie going on can see him improve.
