WOLVES' DEN comes through the same race as Vespasian, but has a much better draw than rival so gets the nod. Looks to peak after three runs back and blinkers on for the first ime. First three came clear. VESPASIAN should also be at peak fitness after two runs from a spell. Ran them along up front over same trip last start and stuck on really well. Dee knows him well and has run well in both rides for him. HAKUSAN get B Shinn and blinkers for the first time. Looks like back on turf over longer trip also will assist. BOLSHIE was running on well at the end of 1600m last start on the synthetic after a game run on soft turf over 2025m previous start. LADY PUISSANCE was strong late on heavy track two starts back over 1425m and the synthetic run at 1400m last start builds nice foundation for longer trip. Bred to run a trip. MILVIAN BRIDGE was ok against race winners at Flemington over 800m, but 1700m on a big track more his go.
