RESPOND (7) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths over this trip at this track (Dirt). Has a sound record at this journey with one wins and one minor placings. Expected to measure up. FRISCO KID (2) found plenty to get the prize by 0.8 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Roberto Morales who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. HOLY EMPEROR (3) could only manage fifth on dirt over 1m at this track in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1m at this track more recently. Strong contender back on the dirt. WEAR THE CROWN (4) was safely held when resuming last start over 6f at this track (Dirt), finishing ninth and beaten 20 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Solid claims on best form.
