SPYWIRE (9) was a narrow winner in a at Kembla Grange then in the placings last time in the Wyong Magic Millions 3&4yo Classic. Well placed here with the lighter weight. Takes on a far tougher assignment but he should run well. KING'S SECRET (13) finished third when resuming two runs back at Rosehill then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1. 75 lengths as favourite over 5½f at Randwick. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BARBER (5) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1. 5 lengths at his most recent outing when fifth over 6f in the LR Razor Sharp Hcp at Randwick. Has been knocking on the door and he is a leading hope again. ZEALOUSLY (7) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw last start and led for home before finishing second over 5½f at Randwick. Strong top-three prospect.
