HIDDEN WEALTH (3) ran well below his best last time over 6f in the LR Falvelon Quality at Eagle Farm, beaten 9 lengths into 12th at 1/1. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. CIFRADO (2) was far from disgraced when third last start over 7f at Eagle Farm, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at Eagle Farm the start prior. Taking on a better field but he is worth serious consideration. BOOM TORQUE (6) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten one length, over 6f in the LR Falvelon Quality at Eagle Farm. Among the chances and will be tough to stop. CHRYSAOR (5) has been freshened since finishing ninth over 7½f in the G3 Festival Stakes at Rosehill. Fitness level should be good following a subsequent Rosehill trial. Will give the top chances plenty to think about.
