JR SHADOW BOY (9) is in a purple patch of form with his third straight win coming last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Effortless win last time out and should be in the finish again. HARD LUCK PRAYER (8) is in top form with three wins on end, the most recent an effortless 4 lengths victory over 1609m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is sure to play a big role. Q'S TOPNOTCH (10) returns after a spell of eight months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Has to be respected. UNBRIDLED INTENT (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.3 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards.
