BIRDMAN (2) came from well back on the bend to score last time out over 1m in the G2 Blamey Stakes at Flemington. Easier assignment this time. Top chance in this field. JUST FINE (3) finished midfield on his return from a lay-off last start over 1m1 1/2f in the G3 Parramatta Cup at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. SOUL OF SPAIN (4) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 1m in the G1 Verry Elleegant (Chipping Norton) Stakes at Randwick. Has a strong record at the third run in and is expected to run well. WOOTTON VERNI (5) has been below best form in two runs so far this campaign, the latest when fifth beaten by 5. 5 lengths in the G1 Verry Elleegant (Chipping Norton) Stakes at Randwick. The weight drop will assist over the longer journey this time and should be further improved.
