    Race Analysis

    STEEL KNIGHT (4) finished eighth over 6f in the LR Mitchell McKenzie Stakes at Moonee Valley at his most recent appearance on September 6. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. IRON FURY (3) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing second over 5½f at Gosford most recently. Ready to find winning form. EFHARISTO (5) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when eighth over 5½f at Canterbury. Will strip fitter and looks a clear threat. PELOSA (7) has not appeared since she finished eighth over 1m at Scone on May 16. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
