PADDINGTON (13) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1m1f at this track (Dirt). Should be prominent in the run despite the wide draw. In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. Group 2 placegetter HARRY HOOD (11) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing eighth over 1m3f in the G2 Man O War Stakes at this track (Turf) 36 days ago. Can feature prominently. SEEKING UNITY (14) dug deep to score in a then was beaten 5 lengths into third over 1m1f at this track (Dirt) last time four weeks ago. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and two placings from five tries. One to consider. OPERATION TORCH (3) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten a nose. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
