Having narrowly defeated Fast 'N' Rocking in the Group 3 Vain Stakes first up the son of Exceed and Excel will face some fierce opposition on Saturday with Gregers, Kiss A Rose, Eclair Big Bang Romantic Touch, Longma, Hill Spy and Godiva Rock all set to line up in the event.
Both the David Hayes trained Gregers and Peter Moody trained Kiss A Rose have returned in great fashion this time in whereas Eclair Big Bang will be out to justify his early Caulfield Guineas claims having only narrowly won first up at Morphettville.
Romantic Touch will be stepping out for his first appearance as a three-year-old having not been seen since taking out the Group 1 J.J. Atkins while the Mick Price trained Longma will be looking to take the next step having created a big impression on debut when saluting by eight lengths at Werribee.
The Robert Smerdon trained Hill Spy was successful in rising to the occasion in the Vain Stakes last start and the Michael Kent trained Godiva Rock will be looking to get back on track following her shock defeat at Sale first up .
