ORLOV (2) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.2 lengths adrift in third over 2200m at Trentham. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and a minor placing from four runs. Expected to go very well. KICK ON (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth in a 2040m contest at this track six weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Has the class to produce a better result. SWORD IN STONE (3) comes here off a last-start seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 2200m at Trentham. Among the main hopes. ALJAY (1) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1600m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Does boast a solid record at the second run back. Solid contender in this line up.
