The lightly raced BRAVE ONE (16) resumed on a heavy track at Canterbury last start where he got the nose in front at the furlong but tired late and found one better. Strips fitter and on the limit looks a great chance to register a second career win. Godolphin's KERGUELEN (10) returns for a third prep and protects a 100% top three strike rate. Only raced once last prep and was narrowly defeated over 1100m at Canterbury. Yet to contest a race of this quality but is certainly up to the task. On-pacer DEPRIVATION (6) has had his chances this prep but just come up short. Cherry ripe now and with a bit of luck from the wide gate he will be in the finish again. CRAFTY EAGLE (8) did a fair job first-up at Gosford after a slow getaway. Capable of squeezing into the top four at big odds. Progressive three-year-old SECURE (12) is unbeaten this prep and is ready to step out of midweek company.
