NEPOTISM (2) drifted back from a good draw last time then wound up strongly to score a 1.4 lengths win over 7f in the G3 The TL Baillieu Handicap at Rosehill. Tougher assignment this time but a bold showing is expected. WITHIN THE LAW (7) finished third just seven days ago over 6f in the G2 Percy Sykes Stakes at this track. On the quick back-up over more ground. Nicely drawn and is likely to be in the finish. BELLAZAINE (8) finished 1.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 7f at this track after being in contention on the corner two weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Has a high cruising speed. Capable of testing this field. BUFFALO (3) turned in a eye-catching run last start over 7f in the G1 ATC Sires' Produce Stakes at this track, winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close third. Will be doing his best work late.
