CHARTRES (2) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when 14th, beaten 8 lengths, over this journey at Sandown-Hillside. Has the talent to figure prominently. DUAL PRESSURE (9) kept coming only to just miss when fresh from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Flemington. Should tighten right up following that outing. The engagement of Damian Lane is a positive move. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. KAHHOF (4) finished in the money at each run this campaign before a deserved win last time over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside. Confidence back now. Should be involved again. EYE OF THE EAGLE (6) was easily accounted for when eighth last start over 7f21yards at Flemington, beaten 4 lengths after a good when resuming win at Sandown-Hillside. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
