ROME'S CONQUEST (3) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Top chance again. AL'S ROMEO (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1006m at Canterbury Park Turf (Turf). This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. AXEL STEEL (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1106m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STROLLSMISCHIEF (2) was beaten 12 lengths into sixth in a 1207m contest at this track a month ago. Well placed to turn things around.
