FIRST MAN (2) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in all three runs this preparation and strikes a winnable contest here. Drawn perfectly for Rodd in gate four and should be going very close to shedding the maiden tag. MISS HIGHFALUTIN (10) has hit the top-five in all four career outings to date and is yet to put in a poor one. Respect from the Gollan yard. BOROGORU (8) has placed one from one over this course and distance and gets Maloney back on top. Top-three contender. NATIONAL INTEREST (17) has placed five from seven over this journey and is usually thereabouts. One for the exotics players. SUGAR ISLAND (22) next in line.
