ALABAMA STATE (18) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 6f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after he did his best work late. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. PAJANTI (5) won when resuming then found stakes class a lot tougher last time out when eighth over 6¾f in the LR Mona Lisa Stakes at Wyong. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. PEACE OFFICER (1) is a distance specialist who is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when second over 1m at Randwick. Has the ability to figure prominently. IRON MAN (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Randwick, beaten 5 lengths into seventh. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
