BURLEIGH (1) is a genuine type with three minor placings from three starts this prep. Was prominent throughout and finished 2. 5 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 5½f at Horsham. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. MAKARIM (4) is a gelding by Blue Point out of Camargue who is at the races for the first time. Fitter for a recent trial win. Blinkers are on looks a top chance. LICENSE TO EXCITE (7) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0. 6 lengths adrift in third over 5½f at Colac when returning from a break. Among the main chances. ROYAL HERITAGE (5) wasn't beaten far over 5f at Werribee on debut last start and may appreciate the longer journey. Shapes as one to consider.
