None of the eight will surprise as they get out to a trip like 2270m for the first time. COLD SHOWER's debut in a solidly run 2000m maiden was solid. That form had a positive test last Wednesday with the 2nd horse, Sister's Run winning brilliantly. LOCKED IN was outsprinted 1st up in a moderately run but strong 1600m maiden. He ran ok. That race provided a Flemington winner on Saturday. LOCKED IN's famous full brother Soul Patch finished 3rd in a VRC Derby. Like the majority, AL JADITH rises quickly in distance. He stuck on quite well over the 1600m 2nd up. He's bred to run this trip. OBSIDIAN STONE gets blinkers for the first time. He ran home ok 2nd up then last time was inconclusive with tempo against. WINTER ARC did not have an ideal lead last time sitting off the rail with one inside him. He should stay 2270m and he does have the most "miles" in his legs.
