DAMIEN (2) recorded a strong maiden win over 1200m at Newcastle last time, getting there by 2.25 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he looks certain to measure up again. ONE STEP CLOSER (10) was well in commission on his debut over 1400m at Kembla Grange two weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths. Big chance with race experience now on board. AERODROME (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1200m at Warwick Farm two-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to make his presence felt again. FORTISSIMO (3) launched his career with a win then couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1400m at Scone, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
