KING'S DUTY (14) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 4½f at this track. Rates highly in this line up and can improve. YOSHINOBU (13) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by a head over 6f at Wyong. Will go forward and should be in the finish again. FRENCH MARINE (3) stuck on well to finish third last start over 6¼f at Canterbury, beaten 1.5 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can discover winning form. SPANISH FOX (1) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by 1.75 lengths last start over 6½f at Hawkesbury. Yet to miss the frame from four starts at this journey, including two wins and should be in the finish.
