RUNAWAY TYCOON (16) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 2/11/2024, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths over 7f at Gold Coast. Sure to make his presence felt. SHAQUE D'AMOUR (15) finished second last time out over 4f at this track, making it four career minor placings. Has a sound record here with four top-three finishes from five starts. Has the ability to take this out. LOPE BY NIGHT (8) hit the line nicely to finish fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, on debut last start over 4f at this track. Will appreciate the longer journey so don't underestimate. RUINS OF ROME (4) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 3 lengths when fifth over 6f at Eagle Farm. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
