DASHING (3) raced in town last time and missed the frame, finishing fourth in the LR Lord Stakes at Caulfield Heath and beaten 4 lengths. Winning rider Craig Newitt stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. NIGHT ENDEAVOR (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7½f at Caulfield Heath, beaten 5.5 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. HOLYMANZ (1) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 1m1f in the G3 Eclipse Stakes at Caulfield. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Sure to be competitive. RIOT AND ROSE (2) travelled in a rearwards position and turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1m in the LR Lord Stakes at Caulfield Heath after a nice win the start prior. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp.
