FAMEUX (6) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when in the firing line on the turn before winding up in second over 6f at Gosford, beaten 1.3 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can return to winning ways. PRESS LIGHTLY (9) finished ninth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at Goulburn, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MISCHIEF IN DUBAI (10) drifted back then closed strongly to score on debut over 6f at Bathurst four months ago and has not raced since. Has since been kept ticking over with a Rosehill trial. Will come on following that run definite threat. KLUM (12) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing seventh over 5f at Kembla Grange. Should be in the finish. Can feature with the right run.
