On pace runners, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10. KARAOKE ROCKSTAR has trialed twice since a spell at his Warwick Farm home base and after his win on the second occasion, he's now more than ready to make his debut in this class with blinkers already a part of his gear. AXHRO stepped up to tackle this distance for the first time when he was anything but disgraced at Hawkesbury last start. Switching to the country circuit aids his cause today. MACAROON was strongly supported before his honest debut effort last start at Bathurst. Natural improvement is now likely at only his second run in a race! RECOGNITION was resuming from a long spell at Wellington last start when he kept trying in defeat over only 1100m. He can be expected to now greatly appreciate this longer journey when he presents race-fitter today, second up. DRAGON PORT finished unplaced at Canberra last start but his effort was better than it appears on paper. Neither THREE WISHES or BOUND FOR PATTAYA can be harshly judged for unplaced latest efforts. There were excuses in both cases.
