ENSIGN PARKER (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f87yards at Muswellbrook after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to take this out. DAS KAPITAL (3) ran below expectations last time at Canberra, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths starting at 5/1. Has the class to produce a better result. BOLD JULIUS (1) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Kembla Grange, beaten 2 lengths into sixth. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. MANHATTAN BABY (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths at Mudgee over 5½f. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
