IDEAL MONDO (1) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months and looks to be right up to the mark following a recent trial win. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and is sure to have plenty of admirers. THE EYE IN THE SKY (6) is looking to improve on her last-start eighth behind Beachbabe Crocker at Listed level over 1609m at Menangle two weeks ago. Top-shelf performer who is well-placed to atone. ROCKNROLL CLARRY (5) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Tamworth over 1980m. Top-three credentials. JUNIOR WARFARE (7) is in the mix at his first run since finishing runner-up over 1609m at Newcastle eight months ago. Can run a race while fresh.
