ZAN (10) finished second last time out over 1m at Kembla Grange, making it two career minor placings. Has weighed in at all two tries over this distance. Will find this tougher but should be hard to stop. KOTAISHI (2) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 7f at Randwick Kensington. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. ALTAIR I AM (1) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.2 lengths, over 6½f at Hawkesbury when resuming after a break. Settles back early but winds up late. Among the main hopes. BLUEPINOT (5) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 3 lengths away in fifth over 7f at Randwick Kensington. Capable of featuring prominently.
