#9 Young Champion had too much to overcome from a wide draw last start, sitting seven lengths off the lead at the 400m yet closing well to finish fifth, beaten two and a half lengths. Third-up now, he looks primed to deliver a third local win. #7 Karma was in a similar situation last time, working home strongly from a poor draw. He will need to settle closer to the speed to be a serious contender. #12 Voyage Samurai is a nice horse on the rise and he steps into Class 2 for the first time, where his mettle will be tested. Barrier 1 ensures an ideal run in transit. #8 Patch Of Theta was a commendable third second-up despite racing wide and benefits significantly from a lower draw this time, which should turn his luck around.
