#4 Ka Ying Rising has swiftly established himself as one of the top sprinters on the global stage after two sensational wins this preparation. The set weights race conditions favour him as the highest-rated runner in the field, but he enjoys a 5lb pull over three of his rivals, as he is yet to secure a Group 1. #1 California Spangle resumed with a solid third behind Ka Ying Rising and should strip much fitter second-up. #9 Helios Express resumed with an eye-catching run into second behind Ka Ying Rising, and trainer John Size has noted that he’ll stick to sprint distances for now. #2 Victor The Winner, a first-up specialist, should secure a sweet run from barrier 1. Though a win would come as a shock, he may sneak in for a place depending on how the pace eventuates.
