Group 2 winner HEZASHOCKA (6) gave away a considerable start over 1m2f in the G1 Doomben Cup last time before hitting the line well to finish seventh. Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and appears suited by the longer journey. Can get home over the top this time. Group 3 placegetter GOLDMAN (5) met with solid support last start over 1m3f in the LR Gosford Gold Cup at Newcastle when fourth, beaten 6 lengths. He is right in this. Group 1 placegetter SPIRIT RIDGE (1) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by a nose over 1m2f in the G3 Chairman's Handicap at Doomben. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. Group 3 winner CAPTAIN ENVIOUS (4) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1m6f at Flemington. Capable of featuring prominently.
