GUS THE GREAT (2) has been in the money at both runs this campaign, finding the line strongly last time to finish second over 6¾f at Wyong. Among the leading chances. NORDIC VIKING (1) resumes from a lay-off of four months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1m in the G2 Callander-Presnell at Randwick. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Canterbury over 6f. Has trialled well leading into this. Nicely placed and expected to go well. ALPHARD (4) returned last time with a solid third at Canterbury over 6¼f. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. SARAPO (3) resuming from a four-and-a-half months break after finishing 13th in the G3 Gloaming Stakes at Rosehill and resumes here a gelding. Fitter for a fourth in a trial over 5½f at Canterbury. Has to be respected.
