ESPRIT GARCON (7) has gone off the boil since bursting onto the scene 12 months ago. He never got into the race last start after ending up well back, but the inside draw may force him to sit closer this time. Best form is good enough and a return to that level would see him right in the finish. DRAKAINA (16) was solid first-up at this trip first-up at Ascot and is a second-up winner in the past. She was solid in her first Australian campaign and she looks to be trending towards her best form. Likely to be back in the run but watch for her flying late in the race. KEEP ATTACKING (2) never got into the race fresh at Ascot and the stable have hit the reset button. McGruddy has a winning record when aboard and he maps to get every chance. Can put his best foot forward. AHYEAHRIGHTO (9) put up a strong figure when winning last start as favourite and has to be included again despite the wide alley. KEEP ITA MYSTERY (6) steps up in trip now which looks to suit and he can go close.

    Recent form sound. At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.6 len at Ascot Rtg 66+ May 10 over 1200m defeating Chollima carrying 56kg at $2.90. The run before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ on April 26 over 1200m, neck behind Camera Action with 59kg at $2.70. Big win last start and he'll go close if he can run up to that figure again.
