KATSU (1) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish one length away in second over 1000m at Sandown-Hillside. Will again be prominent from the outset. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. KING'S SECRET (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a long neck over 1100m at Rosehill. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from five runs. Sure to go well again. CASSIEL (8) scored last start at Hawkesbury to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One to consider. FLAME OF HESTIA (12) raced on the pace over 1000m at Wyong last time and went on to win by 3.5 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but is too good to overlook.
