TRAPEZE LEGEND (5) broke through for his maiden win over 5½f at Scone last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is sure to go well. RUSSIAN ZARINA (4) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on May 26 finishing 12th and beaten 7 lengths over 7f27yards at Moruya. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. STRATIFIED (2) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 2.25 lengths to spare over 5½f at Narromine. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from four starts. Should be involved in the finish. CONTRIVED (1) was beaten 1.5 lengths into sixth in a 6f contest at Kembla Grange last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
