FEROCE (6) is a progressive three-year-old gelding who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1m in the G3 Carbine Club Stakes at this track on November 2. Sharpened up by a recent trial placing. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Best figures should see him run well. ROYAL INSIGNIA (3) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by a long neck over 6f in the G3 Manfred Stakes at Sandown-Lakeside last time out. Should be in the finish again. SEPALS (14) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by 1.3 lengths over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside last time out. Tackles a much tougher assignment but he should be very competitive. STAY FOCUSED (7) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fifth when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 5½f in the LR Durbridge Stakes at Morphettville. Can feature in the finish.
