On pace runners, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11. IMELDA rushed to the line when she was produced over 1280m here on debut fourteen days ago. She can be expected to already relish the distance rise that awaits her now. MISSION STRIKE will be making his Australian debut after a stable change and after previously campaigning in Hong Kong. He was given two trials last month and unlike some, he can cope with this testing trip first up. CRISPY LEAVES had too much to do at Newcastle last start and her unplaced effort must be ignored. WHAT A GENT was too good for all except the winner at Taree three days ago. He has raced well after a very quick back-up (four days) before and he should not be underestimated today. COOL ART didn't threaten last start over only 1100m at Scone in a race that has produced outstanding subsequent form. She will however be more suitably placed when she attempts a significant step up in journey today.
