PISTOL PETE (3) did a good job last start to finish third in Group 3 grade at this track over 1000m, beaten 0.8 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and two minor placings from five runs. Likely to feature. ALMOND SEA (6) kept coming only to just miss last start over 1160m at this track. Has race fitness on her side now. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. WILLIAM ROBERTSON (1) lines up on the back of a 4 length seventh over 1000m at this track. Has a solid record here over this distance, winning on three occasions from six outings. Profiles to run well. GREATERIX (5) resumes in a similar race to his last run nine weeks ago when fourth, beaten 7 lengths. Can make his presence felt.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up favourite; won by 0.7 len at this track G3 Merchants November 29 over 1160m defeating Cosmic Star carrying 57.5kg at $11. Second-up 3rd of 13 at this track in G3 on December 27 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Taxi To The Moon with 61.5kg at $4. Racing well in stakes class this campaign with a win and a minor.
