TYCOON STAR (2) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by 1.75 lengths over 6f in the G3 HDF McNeil Stakes at Caulfield. Easier assignment this time. Leading contender. MCGAW (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 6f in the G3 HDF McNeil Stakes at Caulfield. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SHINING SMILE (4) lifted strongly to score when returning from a lay-off two runs back then was prominent in the run last time before finishing fifth over 5½f in the G3 Vain Stakes at Caulfield. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One of the main contenders. DEVIL NIGHT (1) finished fifth when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Rosehill. Winning claims on best figures.
