COLEMAN (1) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in the tougher Coolmore Stud Stakes won by Switzerland over 6f at Flemington, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Backmarker who keeps coming. One of the leading chances. PISCES (3) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when when resuming last start over 6f in the G3 Red Anchor Stakes at Moonee Valley. Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. MANOS (5) gave a great sight last time over 6f at Randwick when he raced up on the pace and fought on gamely only to be narrowly beaten. Sure to prove hard to run down again. I AM VELVET (7) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 5 lengths away in tenth over 7f at Flemington. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
