FRAWLEY (11) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 6f at Hamilton. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. RUNWAY RULER (18) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling out the back and failing to come on when seventh over 7f in the G3 Blue Sapphire Stakes at Caulfield. Has the talent to take care of this field. MANCHEGO (13) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track after being in contention on the corner three weeks ago as 10/11 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. Strong top-three chance. PORTER (9) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 2.2.5 lengths last start over 7f at Seymour. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again.
