ENDUED (1) was a new acquisition for the John Size stable last start when he only got clear room late before rushing home to finish second over 1400m at this track at his first run back from a spell. With some better luck, he can go one better. RISING PHOENIX (4) came from well back on the bend to score last time out over 1400m at this track. He drops in class for this and is expected to be there at the business end. THE GOLDEN KNIGHT (6) has yet to break through after five starts. Placed two back then, last time out was an unlucky fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1600m at this track. He is good enough to take this out. ETALON OR (2) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. The engagement of Alex Badel is a positive move, and he has been holding his form well since winning 3 starts back. Stick with him.
