SIR LUCAN (1) strode forward early from his wide draw to settle just off the lead last start then lifted to score by 0.7 lengths in the LR Winter Cup at Rosehill over 2400m. Takes on tougher opposition this time but he is right in this. HEZASHOCKA (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 2400m in the G3 Premier's Cup at this track. Among the leading chances. DON DIEGO DE VEGA (8) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fifth over 2400m in the LR Winter Cup at Rosehill. Has further improvement to come and is capable of sharp improvement. MANZOICE (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 3200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Another forward showing is anticipated.
