KING WEST (8) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. In top form including recording back to back wins, the latest scoring over 6f at Cranbourne. Unbeaten over this journey and rates a top chance again. EXCEL AND FLY (3) did a good job last start to finish second at Cranbourne over 6f, beaten 0.8 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Should be in the finish. CAESAR CIPHER (12) launched his career with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 7f21yards at Flemington, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a more suitable contest and can rediscover winning form. VIENNA VIXEN (5) lines up for the first time since April 24. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5f at Bairnsdale. One to consider.
