FRANZ JOSEF (6) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 1.5 lengths over 7½f at this track. Sure to take some stopping again. NAILS MURPHY (9) started at 3/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 12th and beaten 14 lengths at Randwick over 7f. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ALLAPERCANTO (15) has scored at her last two starts, most recently by 2.75 lengths over 7¾f at Canterbury as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Among the leading players again. CAPTAIN FURAI (16) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 7½f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Sure to be thereabouts.
