COPACABANA (10) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 7f at Newcastle. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. BAT OUT OF HELL (2) kept coming only to just miss last start over 7¾f at this track. Should be near his peak for this. Yet to miss the placings in six starts over this course and distance. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. MISSILE SEEKER (5) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a seventh at Rosehill two starts back then scored by a head last time out over 7½f at Rosehill. This doesn't look as hard so he is all set to build on that latest effort. SISU SPIRIT (7) returned from a lay-off three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 2. 5 lengths into eighth over 6½f at Wyong. Fitter and sure to run well.
