EXTREME VIRTUE (13) took up the running last time and turned in front but faded to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over this journey at Sandown-Hillside. Should be tough to rein in. OUTTA COMPTON (6) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with a win over 1500m at Sandown-Hillside two weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. AMBASSADORIAL (9) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 4 lengths away in fifth over 1800m at Flemington after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. TRIAL BY PRESS (15) finished fifth over 1600m at Sandown-Hillside last time out following a determined win two runs back. Can sneak into the finish.
