BROOKLYN DAN (6) has been kept fresh since he beat a good field of three year-olds for a Group 2 win in the Gold Chalice at Bathurst last start. Had kicked off his campaign with two wins from second row draws and his strike here stands at 50 per cent. The one to beat. ZANDA MAN (3) had been building to a win and it arrived at his latest appearance when he worked early but pushed to the front and went on to score by 4.5 metres at this circuit and distance. A good draw should see another strong showing. FIRE MARSHALL (5) had a second line draw last start but won twice in a row prior, one of them at this circuit and distance. Can bounce back. THESTATESMAN (11) worked and faded last start but placed from this row here prior. He is three from three when third-up so can peak.
