NEW SOVEREIGN (19) has won both starts this time in, and while they've been in weaker grade he's done it well, scoring by a length as a well backed favourite at Seymour last time out. He drops 3kg off that and draws ideally. Can measure up well. FLYING FIZZ (15) was a dominant winner in fast time at Donald two back before a solid effort at Caulfield Heath when up in grade, beaten 1.1 lengths as a $2.30 favourite. Like her coming back to 1400m here. KIKO (13) finds it hard to win but is racing well, placing at her past two. She's only got a short sprint on her so does need everything to go her way but the low draw could assist that. EUGENIUS (9) led throughout at Sale over this trip when last seen and can measure up. ENNA'S DREAM (17) has ability on her day and can figure.
