KING TAURUS (1) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 0.7 lengths back in second over 6f at Goulburn. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. MIDNIGHT LUNA (4) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 7f at Canberra following a minor placing at Canberra over 6½f the run prior. Among the leading chances. MAKTABI (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 7f65yards at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Wide draw and will need a good steer from. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. VIZSTAR (10) finished third last start over 7f at Gundagai, beaten a long neck. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise.
