Group 3 winner RIGHT TO PARTY (9) came from well back on the corner to score last time out over 6f in the G3 Aurie's Star Handicap at this track. Goes up a notch this time but should measure up. Group 1 placegetter ARKANSAW KID (10) was a narrow winner by 0.8 lengths in the LR Regal Roller Stakes at Caulfield in a then second in the LR Chautauqua (Chandler Macleod) Stakes at Moonee Valley last time. Gets a little weight relief. Rates a leading contender. Multiple Group 3 placegetter SANS DOUTE (12) is a handy galloper who was 0.8 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 5f at Moonee Valley. Among the leading chances. Group 3 winner MUMBAI MUSE (14) opened this prep last start with a third, beaten a long neck, over 5½f at Randwick. Definite chance.
