SPLASH BACK (14) came from well back on the bend and hit the line strongly to score over 6f in the G2 Victory Stakes at this track last time out. Tougher assignment this time but is still among the leading chances. JIMMYSSTAR (1) was well in commission last start over 6f in the G1 Doomben 10,000 when fourth, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with three wins from four runs and is among the leading chances. LINEBACKER (11) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 6½f in the LR Luskin Star Stakes at Scone. Tougher assignment this time but he should be very competitive. NAPOLEONIC (16) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1. 1 lengths adrift in third over 6f at Doomben when returning from a break. Worth including.
