PERSIAN WONDER (1) finished tenth over 1m in the G1 Champagne Stakes at Randwick at his most recent appearance on April 18. Sure to make his presence felt. KING OF THE TOP (5) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Gosford over 5½f. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will prove hard to hold out. TOUCHING HANS (8) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 5½f at Gosford on July 9 after he gave away a big start. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. LIGHTHORSEMAN (6) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4. 5 lengths from the winner in fifth at Gosford over 5½f. Not to be discounted.
