ROMAN MISS (9) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish seventh, beaten 8 lengths, over 6½f at Hawkesbury. Expected to measure up here. Take catching. FORTY TIMES (7) last appeared eight weeks ago over 1m at Sale when he finished tenth. This is his first run for the Peter W Stanley stable. Sure to be primed for this and a bold showing is anticipated. STRATIFIED (2) went forward last start over 5½f at Narromine and held on well for second, beaten 1.2 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WANDERING JACK (3) finished fifth over 5½f at Mudgee last time out following a determined win two runs back. Top-three chance.
