PERFUMIST (7) was successful last start over 7½f at Rosehill, getting home by 2.2.5 lengths to make it four wins in a row. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MORE TERRITORIES (14) was last at the races when she finished seventh over 7f in the G3 The Vanity Stakes at Flemington on November 2. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. COOL JAKEY (2) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 2.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 6f at Rosehill when when resuming from a lay-off. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. MATTER OF HONOUR (11) strode forward early from his wide draw over 7f at this track last time, leading for much of the way before fading to finish fourth. Deserves respect.
