JUJA KIBO (8) improved second up over 1m2f in the LR Randwick City Stakes (Canterbury Cup), finishing 1. 5 lengths from the winner. Decent placing record at this longer trip. Stiffer assignment here but he is right in this. CAMPALDINO (1) got the job done last start in the LR Randwick City Stakes (Canterbury Cup) over 1m2f. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Goes up a notch this time but he is expected to run well. ALALCANCE (2) finished 2 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1m2f at Randwick after being prominent at the turn when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in journey. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Capable of testing this field. SAM HAWKENS (10) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage seventh over 1m2f in the LR Canberra Cup. Can sneak into the finish.
