KALUAKOI (12) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish sixth, beaten 2. 5 lengths, last start over 1m1f at Eagle Farm. Well placed and should be tough to rein in. PRINCE LEVI (10) finished 6 lengths away in ninth last time out over 1m1f at Eagle Farm three weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Mark Du Plessis who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. ENCODER (3) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 1m1f in the G3 Lord Mayor's Cup at Eagle Farm after he was prominent throughout. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Likely to play a major role. BELVEDERE BOYS (4) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 0. 8 lengths back in fourth over 1m2f in the LR Lord Mayor's Cup at Rosehill. Will drift back but wind up late. Deserves respect on best figures.
