REGAL AWARD (18) performed above expectations last time over 7f in the G3 Fred Best Classic at this track, getting the prize by 1. 1 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. HEADLEY GRANGE (7) was a winner last time over 6½f in the G1 Kingsford Smith Cup at this track and re-unites with Adam Hyeronimus who steered on that occasion. Will appreciate the big weight drop so he is a leading contender again. KING OF ROSEAU (10) was on a winning run of three races but last time out missed the frame when 15th over 6½f in the G1 Kingsford Smith Cup at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. Will be picking them up late. ESTADIO MESTALLA (11) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish fourth, beaten 2. 5 lengths, in the LR Luskin Star Stakes at Scone over 6½f. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and cannot be taken lightly.
