ALEPPO PINE (4) was given a short break after finishing fourth over 6f at Moonee Valley. Kept ticking over with a subsequent trial at Flemington. Looks a strong winning chance. STREET ARTIST (9) was an effortless winner last time out over 5f at Mornington, scoring by 5 lengths. Big weight drop will assist. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to feature. SONOFKIRK (2) is a talented colt who was well held last time in tougher grade over 6f in the G3 HDF McNeil Stakes at Caulfield. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from four starts. Capable of going well. SHINING SMILE (1) faded late last time over 5½f in the LR Poseidon Stakes at Flemington after showing good early speed, eventually finishing fourth. Drops back in grade. Well placed and not to be discounted.
