GILDED WATER (4) finished 21 lengths from the winner in ninth when resuming last time out at Sandown-Hillside over 1m1f. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins from three starts. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Will prove tough to beat. BANKERS CHOICE (1) was quickly into stride and went on to score by a nose last time out over 1m1f at Sandown-Hillside. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMOKIN' ROMANS (2) defied his big price last time when beaten just a nose into second over 1m1f at Sandown-Hillside. Expected to be competitive. STAR OF INDIA (5) improved last time out, finishing 0. 8 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m2f at Flemington. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
