PHILATELIC (8) even return when striking trouble at the start before making up ground late when fifth to the promising Aerodrome over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Extra distance in his favour and the blinkers get added in this weaker contest. RHEGION (3) returned for his second preparation with a tough on pace third over 1280m at Muswellbrook in a Super Mdn. Finally drawn a decent gate and shapes as one of the leading players. PREDICTING (2) back from a let up with a game fourth over 1200m at Newcastle. Strips fitter now and gets weight relief again from the low draw. No shock to see him get off the mark at start five. AGENT ZERO (7) well-bred Snitzel colt out of an Americain mare on debut for the Maher yard. Fitted with two sharp trials and looks primed for this with the blinkers going on from the inside gate.
