MY GLADIOLA (1) showed little early speed last start then picked up impressively in the straight to finish second in the G1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington over this journey. Will find this easier. Bold showing expected. INKARUNA (2) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 1. 3 lengths, over 5½f at Flemington. Backmarker who keeps coming. One of the leading chances. SURF'S UP (8) was ridden quietly from a good draw last start before closing nicely to get up for eighth over 5½f in the G3 Red Roses Stakes at Flemington. Among the chances. TUPAKARA (4) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing tenth over 1m in the G1 Flight Stakes at Randwick. Don't underestimate.
