CANNAE (2) won his maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when third over 1m1f in the LR Port Adelaide Guineas at Morphettville. Drops back in grade. Bold showing expected. PARVENU (7) turned in an eye-catching run over 1m at Pakenham last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Expected to prove tough to hold out again. BUTHELEZI (3) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing fifth over 1m in the G2 WA Guineas at Ascot five months ago. Fitter for recent trials. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Shapes as one to consider. THERE WERE ROSES (9) got off the mark when resuming from a lay-off over 7f at Pakenham last start, scoring by 1. 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. This is tougher but she is capable of another big run.
