DE RUSSIAN ROCKET (1) finished second last time over 1600m at Riverton to make it six minor placings from 14 career runs. Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from three starts. Well placed and is among the leading players. DARKHAN ROAR (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when sixth over 2100m at Riccarton Park Synthetic a week-and-a-half ago. Nicely placed to take this out. PRINCEOFHARPZ (4) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 23 lengths into 12th at his latest appearance over 1600m at Riverton. Blinkers added so worth plenty of thought. QUEEN OF KINGS (10) is a 21-start maiden finding it tough to get off the mark but is knocking on the door, finishing fourth over 1600m at Riverton last time out. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
