TROPICUS (2) showed good early speed when resuming last start before boxing on well and finishing second, beaten a long neck, over this trip in the G3 Manfred Stakes at Sandown-Lakeside. In the right race and is a key runner. SHADHAVAR (9) is a promising three-year-old filly who returned from a break last start and finished 0.7 lengths away in third over 5½f in the G3 Peter Le Grand Stakes at this track. POLYGLOT (3) was narrowly beaten into third when second up last start at Rosehill over 6f. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. LOFTY ARCH (1) resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 6f at Cranbourne to kick off last prep. Placed in a recent trial. Top-three claims.
