Champagne Stakes winner BROADSIDING (1) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has racked up wins at his last three runs, the latest scoring over 7f in the G2 BRC Sires' Produce Stakes at this track. Won only start here and expected to go close. Group 2 placegetter ZOUNA (2) found the line strongly last time when second over 7f in the G2 BRC Sires' Produce Stakes at this track. Looks suited first attempt at this trip and is among the winning hopes. IMPERIALIST (6) broke through for his maiden win over 7½f in the LR The Phoenix (Doomben Slipper) at this track last time. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Drawn out a bit but he cannot be discounted. BITTERCREEK (3) Group 2 winner. Ran fourth at his latest appearance over 7f at this track, finishing 1.4 lengths from the winner. Ticks all the right boxes.
