CLOSER TO FREE (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 5½f in the G3 Blue Diamond Prelude (Colts & Geldings) at this track two weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. BIG SKY (4) was a most impressive winner last time out over 5f in the G3 Chairman's Stakes at this track, putting 3 lengths on his nearest rival. Nice weight drop this time around. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. UNIT FIVE (1) hasn't raced since a win in the LR Magic Millions 2yo Classic at Gold Coast over 6f five weeks ago. Kept up to the mark with a placing in a recent trial at Cranbourne. Expected to measure up on best form. CHAYAN (16) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0. 8 lengths adrift in second over 5½f at this track on debut. Stiffer assignment here but can figure in the finish.
