Group 3 placegetter FREEDOM RALLY (1) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fourth over 6½f in the G1 Kingsford Smith Cup at this track. Sure to be prominent from the outset. IKNOWASTAR (5) scored by 2.25 lengths last start over this journey at Randwick. Has a good record at this trip with six wins and one placings. Definite winning hope. POISON CHALICE (7) wound up strongly at the end of 1m at this track last time out, finishing 0.6 lengths away in third. Goes up a notch this time but he should be very competitive. Group 2 winner COASTWATCH (4) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 7½f in the LR Spear Chief Handicap at this track. Strong chance again.
