CASTILLIAN (6) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.75 lengths over 6¾f at Ipswich. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five runs. Can measure up again. RED DEFCON (14) got well back over 6½f in the G2 Dane Ripper Stakes at Eagle Farm last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 6 lengths away in 14th. Won't find this as tough so she will be hard to beat. DEEP RESPECT (12) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 6¾f at Ipswich. One to watch for late in the piece. NORTHERN DECREE (13) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at Eagle Farm when he made late ground, beaten 2.5 lengths. Ready to go a couple better.
