BOLD BLAZE (4) is closing in on a win, last time out finishing second over 1640m at Doomben when just a nose from the winner. One of the big hopes in the race. KAFFIR LILY (3) has been out of the placings in tougher races at her last two outings, the latest when 12th in stakes class in the G3 Adrian Knox Stakes at Randwick. Finds an easier assignment and is among the leading chances. SAN JOSE BOY (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a head over 1800m at Gold Coast. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Should be in the finish. HIGH CLASS ROLLER (2) has been racing consistently including a last start third over 2000m at Doomben, beaten 3.5 lengths. Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
