A small-field affair that could prove tactical. SACRED FIRE (1) made the perfect start scoring by a neck on debut over 1400m at Newmarket (Rowley) eleven months ago. Returns with plenty of upside and likely to improve. Can maintain his unbeaten record so worth giving consideration. INFLUENTIAL (2) resumed with a creditable 4L fifth tackling 1600m at Pontefract. Open to sharp progression with that run under the belt. Key danger who warrants plenty of thought. RAJA CHARGER (3) is a newcomer by Rajasinghe representing the Brian Rothwell yard and needs to be monitored closely in the market. Not to be discounted.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when came from midfield and won by a neck at Newmarket (Rowley) November 1 over 1400m defeating Grow Old With Me with 58kg at $19. Only has a small field to contend with and is a strong winning hope.

Second-up. First start 5th of 12 at Great Yarmouth on May 1 over 1600m, 4 len behind Roman Centurion with 58.5kg at $13. Went for a break before returning 5th of 7 at Pontefract on September 18 over 1600m, 14 len behind National Park carrying 60.5kg at $4.30. Chance to topple the main selection as these small fields can throw up surprises.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
