SIR ROCKET (5) was in the money two starts back at Cooktown but couldn't back it up last time when eighth, beaten 6 lengths, at Doomben over 1m. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. TYCOON BEAU (3) finished 2. 4 lengths away from the winner last time at this track on a soft ground and drops in the weights. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from five starts and is expected to be in the finish. INCHING CLOSER (1) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten one length into third over 6¼f at this track. Lauren Guernier stays on. Sure to be competitive. KING'S HALO (6) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 6¼f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0. 6 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success.
