NORTH POLE (1) is a talented gelding who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 7 lengths behind Sunrays over 1500m in the LR The Phoenix (Doomben Slipper) at Eagle Farm. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to feature. LOCKYER (5) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1200m at Ipswich. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. ZHONGXIN KOALA (4) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten one length, over 1200m at Ipswich on debut. Will be winding up late. SAVEUR (8) resumes today after failing to impress on debut running 4.5 lengths behind Icarian Dream at Warwick Farm over 1000m. Rates a place chance.
