EN FRANCAIS (3) eye-balled the leader for most of the way here last start before taking over in the lane. Fought hard when challenged but ultimately came up short to Thirsty Guest. Meets the winner 2kgs better at the weights this time. Expect that to prove the difference on the quick turnaround. THIRSTY GUEST (4) dug deep to overhaul En Francais here last time. Will have to be just as good to win again but he is flying this campaign and he's every chance to go on with it with leading hoop Jake Toeroek partnering again. DANISH FORTUNE (5) has fought gamely to the line in his last two. Open to further improvement and should be able to take advantage of the low draw. Expect him to be in this for a very long way. THE GUAVA (7) was an eye-catcher last start on the Parks surface when rattling home from the back to earn a minor cheque. Don't dismiss. JACK THE LAD (1) strikes a much more suitable assignment after contesting the G2 Damien Oliver at Flemington last start. Not without claims.
