Race Overview

BARBER (1) needs to show something here. Not sure back to 1000m is ideal but he does bring the best form into this. He was strong late first up behind Ozzmosis before an even effort last time in the G2 Roman Consul. Much easier here, gets McDonald on, it's D-Day. STANISLAUS (3) was behind Barber when they met at Rosehill but has since beaten the older horses with a tough effort. Handy type who should run well here. WIGGUM (5) brings different form from South Australia but has talent and looks progressive. Doesn't need to improve much to be in the finish. REVALENE (8) has run second at both starts to date against two smart types and should be thereabouts. CAPITALISATION (9) broke through for a dominant maiden win last time and had run second to stakes winner Gumdrops prior. In the mix.
