Group 1 placegetter FAWKNER PARK (15) is racing well. Scored in the LR Wagga Wagga Gold Cup in a then finished third, beaten a neck, over 1m2f in the G1 Doomben Cup at the latest appearance three weeks ago. Tyler Schiller who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Leading contender. KOVALICA (5) queensland Derby winner. Turned in an eye catching run last time when kept coming to finish sixth in the G1 Doomben Cup. Looks suited first attempt at this trip and is among the winning hopes. ADELAIDE RIVER (6) multiple Group 1 placegetter. Was well-fancied when resuming last start but could only manage ninth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m1f in the G3 Lord Mayor's Cup at this track. Has a decent second up record. Among the winning hopes. Doomben Cup winner BOIS D'ARGENT (4) built on a nice third two starts back at Sunshine Coast with success over 1m2f in the G1 Doomben Cup three weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again.
