Group 3 placegetter MIDNIGHT IN TOKYO (5) has been in good form, scoring three back at Doomben then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 7f at Eagle Farm. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. STEP ASIDE (11) scored by a head in a at Rosehill then filled a placing last time at this track. Nice weight drop for this. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is one of the major players. TESTATOR SILENS (9) has not won for a long while. Last raced on December 23 when beaten 0.8 lengths into fourth at this track over 6½f. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. GIVARA (13) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at Canterbury over 6¼f last time, finishing eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Well placed to make amends.
