SAYTARA gains the opportunity to make her own luck up front, possibly uncontested. She was far too good for all except the favourite at Warwick Farm last start and she should have much to offer when it counts most this evening with gear changes made. VIVA MAURICIO handed in a career best effort when he tackled this trip here last start, in blinkers for a first time. Expect him to now maintain his form. ADAPTATION finished almost beside a next start Gosford winner when he stepped up to tackle this journey at Newcastle at his second run in his first campaign. Natural improvement can be expected. DEFENDANT must be forgiven for an unplaced effort here second up when there were excuses. PEPE was produced in the same race as ADAPTATION at Newcastle when he became unsuited in transit. He also has scope to improve.
