2. Mr Verse is lightly raced and while unsuited at the 1200m first-up. He was well-supported and managed to get the job done at the Sunshine Coast two weeks ago. Much fitter, blinkers go on and out to a more favourable trip are all pluses. Barrier might be a shade tricky, but it’s the fairest starting point at Rosehill, so he’ll have his chance. 1. Don’t Forget Jack creeps up in weights again after a closing second behind Puntin at 1400m a month ago. That form is solid as he was strong winning here two weeks earlier. He can make some use of gate one, and is the logical danger. 5. Tasoraay was disappointing as the favourite in that race, but it’s significant he didn’t lead there, and while he had his chance in the run, he couldn’t quicken. Expect he’ll lead from the wide gate and could take some running down. 11. Sister Daae finished off well when the race was over. Being second-up and the rise in trip is a plus for her, while 7. Hopper could be a big improver.

10. Axius looks a progressive type, and he was quite arrogant in winning first-up at Kensington, beating a subsequent winner. He quickened nicely on that occasion from off the speed, whereas he’d led in his previous preparation. Draw gives him the option. Expect him to sit just off the pace and be hard to hold off. Respect for stablemate 5. Spywire who brings the King’s Secret form into the race, having finished a handy second to that horse when resuming. If he runs up to his return performance, he’s a decent threat. 2. Flying Destiny showed a return to form second-up when he led and fought on strongly when run down by Lady Extreme a month ago. Draws well again. While he loses the claim, he can be expected to hold his form and give a good account. 6. Yoshinobu was placed at group 2 level behind Switzerland back in October and contested the Coolmore Stud Stakes. He’s now a gelding and won a recent trial in good style. Keep very safe.

7. Tuileries will be the shortest priced favourite on the day, and on the promise she’s shown and how far she came last time in, she’s earned that right. But she does have a tricky setup from the outside gate. She’s trialled well, and if she has any luck in the early stages and finds a spot, she should be hard to beat. 9. Useapin ran a nice race when she resumed two weeks ago, beaten two lengths by Hi Dubai, and she didn’t get all the favours there. Extra 100m looks a plus, and she has a good chance. 1. Dollar Magic is reliable, and she can be forgiven for a rare failure last start off a month’s break. Back to fillies and mares and drawn well, so she’s an each-way hope as always. 2. Queen Of The Mile ran an excellent race when resuming behind Storm The Ramparts, then a touch disappointing in the Hi Dubai race. The big bonus for her is a firmer track, she’s a lot better on top of the ground and can make some use of a draw. No surprise to see her lift.

6. Impunity has found it too short for him in his two runs back and not suited to a sprint home, so he can be expected to be a lot more effective out to a staying trip. You can see him trying to run on in both starts back. To be beaten four lengths can be viewed as pass marks. Won at this trip in February, and now he’s drawn soft he can be a lot closer to the pace. Each-way chance in a wide open race. 7. Assailant was sent out favourite third-up over the 2000m, and it all went wrong at the start. He was a little slow off a wide gate and couldn’t get anywhere near the top. Beaten on the turn. A total forgive. A major barrier switch for him here, he’ll land handy and is well worth another chance. 10. Fioprospero isn’t far off a win, it would seem with placings at his past couple, including that 2000m event in question where he ran on from the second half. Certainly, this is no harder and he has a chance. 11. Awesome Wonder has a different form line coming through the Stayers Cup where she was only beaten a length, and she’ll be tougher for the run over the 2400m. One of many capable of winning this if things go her way.

If the speed that appears on paper stays in the race, then 2. With Your Blessing should be suited. He had a super preparation earlier in the year when he won first-up at this trip and went on to just miss at group 3 level before a break. He’s trialled impressively, the draw is okay given there’s speed drawn both inside and out, and he looks to run well fresh. 10. Romeo’s Choice did a big job to win first-up under 61kg on a heavy track at Warwick Farm, and he looked to do it quite comfortably on the line. Step up in class now, but he’s been so honest, he’ll get a nice run from a soft draw behind a good tempo, and no surprise to see him measure up. 8. Storm The Ramparts won’t know himself with 54kg after carrying 8.5kg more to an easy all the way win two weeks ago. Entitled to have a crack at this class now, and he should run well again. 3. Corniche only had the one start last time in and has had bone chips removed in the interim. Fitter for two trials, and while he hasn’t won first-up previously he did have some good three-year-old form and is worth including.

Top-weight 1. Robusto arguably should have gone very close in the Winter Stakes, and he has a very good chance to atone in a similar race with the bonus of an extra 100m. Everywhere he went in the first part of the straight, the gaps eluded him, and he didn’t get clear until the 150m. Same weight, similar field, and slightly better drawn just off the fence, which may help him avoid being dictated to. Hard to beat. 4. Accredited ran third in that race, and the plus for him is the firmer ground as a soft 7 is about the limit for him with wet tracks. He had his chance and was somewhat responsible for Robusto’s woes, but he’s right in this too. 2. Estadio Mestalla pulled their pants down as he led and kept going to beat both in the Winter Stakes. He cops 3kg for his trouble and another outside gate, but he should roll forward and lead again, and he’s more than capable if he’s in the same mood. 10. Thunderlips also comes out of that race where he ran fourth. Again, had his chance but could see him use Estadio to come across and be a little more prominent this time, if that’s the case he’s a winning chance.

4. Bunker Hut was enormous first-up from a spell where he sat wide near the speed and managed to hold on and run fourth in what became a swooper’s race. He was super consistent last time in, and that run suggests he’s come back at least as well. The draw is right in his favour, barrier one suits his style, and he should be a major player in the finish. 6. King Of Roseau broke a long run of outs with an excellent performance to win at this track and distance some five weeks ago. Has since trialled nicely, and he’d only need to hold his form now to be hard to beat again. 14. Little Cointreau is a must for trifecta players; he’s now run third at his past four starts, and he’s one that will appreciate getting back on top of the ground. Impossible to leave out. 8. Fully Lit could be a big improver up slightly in distance after striking that fast run race two weeks ago. His two previous runs from a long break were pass marks, and if he happens to lead, he could give some cheek.
