VICTOR SUPREME (1) has been knocking on the door with successive seconds at this track over 1800m, beaten a length and a half by Super Goldendragon before going under by half a length to Good Good. First try at 2000m and 61kg are the qualifications, but the first-time blinkers and Zac Purton booking give him the strongest winning platform. LUCKY BALERION (7) has not fired in two runs back, yet he is lightly raced, third-up and has previous track form around Victor Supreme, so a sharper performance would not surprise. FAST SPEED (11) brings the freshest winning form after beating King Of Selection at Happy Valley as favourite, with the rise to 2000m the obvious question after four unplaced attempts around the trip. SKY DEEP (3) has the consistency to be right in the contest, having chased well when second to Absolute Honour at Happy Valley after an awkward start, though he is also untried around 2000m.
