PATRIOTIC KING (2) has won two of his last three starts and has adapted nicely to racing in the area.There is a small query over 1200 metres being right at the top of his distance range but in his current space, he is still the one to bet.FROMTHENEVERNEVER (1) needed his first run back from a spell and then showed quick improvement last time out with the blinkers back on.He has the right draw to find the front early and should be the one to peg back.GLOBAL WONDER (4) doesn't know how to run a bad race and he normally puts himself into the race early on.Jarrod Todd returning to the saddle is a bonus and he should be right in the finish again.WOLF QUEEN (6) had only one local start after arriving from a Sydney stable before being put aside to acclimatise.She showed enough potential earlier in her career to say that she will more than measure up in this area.Watch the markets closely.
