HYDE PARK (2) is back at the races for the first time since April 3. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at Canterbury. Now under the care of new trainer Tom Button. Sure to make his presence felt. COLD POWER (4) finished 3 lengths away in seventh last time out over 5f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Solid top-three chance. SUPER ART (8) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 0.9 lengths over 6¼f at Cairns to make it two in a row. Should settle handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. MUTAFIQ (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 4¾f at Cairns after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Ryan Wiggins gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run.
