On pace runners, 1, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 17. STEEL STRIKE was produced as a gelding for the first time when he kept trying first up after striking traffic problems at Canterbury. He presents at home today, with scope to improve. ENGINE ROOM finished unplaced apprentice ridden when he was resuming last start at Warwick Farm. He can however be expected to appreciate this step up from only 1100m today with James McDonald now aboard. TRANSCEND is resuming today after trialing here at her home base twice, earlier in the month. She shouldn't be harshly judged for an unplaced first up Rosehill attempt last campaign. There were excuses! STAGNUM can be forgiven for his unplaced effort when he was resuming from a long spell at his Rosehill home base last start. He will present race-fitter when he attempts to win his second race over this distance when competing on this track from two appearances at the track/distance to date.
