AKUA'RIUS (9) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish 11th, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m2f in the G3 Rosehill Gold Cup. Easier assignment this time. Sure to be there at the finish. NAVAL COLLEGE (3) was fresh from a break of four months last start when beaten 1.5 lengths into sixth over 1m1f in the G3 Craven Plate at Randwick. The extra journey should play into his hands. Among the leading chances. SPIRIT RIDGE (1) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 1m1f in the G3 Craven Plate at Randwick last time out. Capable of testing this field. DIONYSUS (5) made some progress last start to finish fifth over 1m2 1/2f at Tauranga, beaten 2.5 lengths. Stepping up in distance this time and can feature prominently.
