O'TYCOON (8) finished second when resuming two runs back at Gosford then progressed nicely last time out to score by a nose as public elect over 5½f at Wyong. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. FRENCH MARINE (11) is not far off a win, the latest finishing second over 6f at Newcastle. Looks suited at the trip and with the lighter weight this time. Goes very well at this journey, boasting three wins from six starts and is sure to run well. Multiple Group 3 placegetter SHALAILED (2) showed good early speed over 5½f at this track last time and went on to salute by 1.2 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from three starts. Has to be respected. WINGARDIUM (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
