SACHEM (12) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Murray Bridge with success as favourite over 1m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths after he came with a powerful finish. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to cope. A SAMURAI MIND (5) got the job done last start at this track over this distance after he was prominent at the corner. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from three starts. Sure to make his presence felt. BRAVE STAR (1) raced on the pace before drawing clear to score a 0.6 lengths win over this course and distance last time. Among the main hopes. ANGRY SKIES (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 1.1 lengths away in fourth over 7½f at Sandown-Hillside. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
