WALLENDA (3) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 6¼f at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 3. 5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. AGENDA SETTER (9) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in 11th over 6½f at Randwick last start after being in the firing line on the bend, a less impressive effort than his when resuming fifth at this track the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ZULFIQAR (4) made late ground and finished third last time over 6¼f at this track, beaten 0. 9 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. MYSTERY LAD (6) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 7f at Inverell when beaten 1. 3 lengths. Will find this much tougher but must be respected.
