SMOKIN' GIANT (15) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 7 lengths away in sixth over 1m3f at Ararat. Nicely placed to get the prize. ALBANIAN STAR (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 7f at Seymour. Drawn for a good trail just off the pace. Likely improver with strong prospects. KHANT BEE (16) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1m1f at Horsham. Should prove tough to hold out. TENACE (17) returned from a lay-off five-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh over 6½f at Ararat. Strips fitter and can feature in the finish.
