Kingsford Smith Cup winner I WISH I WIN (1) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Randwick. Boasts a when resuming record of three wins and four placings from seven starts. Capable of playing a major role. Group 3 winner ESTRIELLA (6) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Caulfield when returning from a lay-off last prep. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. Group 1 placegetter MORNINGTON GLORY (2) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by a neck over 5f in the LR Carlyon Stakes at this track. Tougher assignment this time but he should be very competitive. Group 1 placegetter JOHNNY ROCKER (3) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5f at Flemington. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
