STORM THE RAMPARTS (6) Headwater gelding who went quickly through his grades last prep, resuming. Finished a narrow second to JEDIBEEL over this trip at Randwick Kensington on April 25. Has a dynamite fresh record and ready for this with the two smart trials. Goes close. EXTRAVAGENT LAD (7) racing in a rich vein of form and met with solid support last start when a plugging third over 1200m at Mudgee. Anchored with the 61kg on that occasion and the 1000m is his pet trip. Can bounce back. FRILLED (1) big drop in class today after contesting Listed and Group 3 company at her last two runs. All five wins have come at this distance and maps to get the right run. Expected to go close. DON'T DOUBT MERLIN (8) has the three wins from five starts and deserves his shot in this stronger contest. Races best with his runs spaced and good enough to take a hand in the finish.
