SWIFTFALCON (2) classy gelding who looks well placed back to the mile in this easier contest. No Broadsiding or Linebacker today and should prove too sharp for these from an outside gate. EVAPORATE (1) tough gelding due for a change of luck this prep. Went across to NZ at his third run back when a fighting second to Damask Rose as fav over 1500m in the LR The Kiwi at Ellerslie. Kept up the mark with a 1050m trial win here and shapes as the main danger. BRIGIDINE GAL (8) tough filly who looks the value play in the race after looming strongly when third in the G3 Epona over 1900m at Rosehill. Blinkers go on and not to be underestimated. SHANGRI LA SPRING (5) showed a ton of grit first up from a wide draw when holding on gamely to run third over 1400m in the LR Canberra Guineas. Will go forward and place prospects look best. DEPTH OF CHARACTER (3) outclassed when fifth in the G1 Randwick Guineas over this trip last time out. Since fitted with a 1000m tick over trial. One for the exotics.
