MEDIA WORLD (9) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 3.5 lengths back in third over 6f at Newcastle. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. IMPERIAL FORCE (2) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 5½f at Randwick Kensington. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. CATOGGIO (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in second over 6f at Kembla Grange after being prominent at the bend. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. DARK ARTS (4) stepped out for his debut over 6f at Randwick back on December 30 and finished fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply.
