You'd love to own a stable of gallopers like METALART (2) who has eight wins and four placings from just 14 starts and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Gets plenty of weight off with the 3kg claim and should get the run of the race from the inside marble. Can continue the rich vein of form. STEADY READY (1) has a strong record over this course and distance with four wins and a second from just seven attempts. Ready to peak now third-up and looms as the main danger. PARTY FOR TWO (9) resumes here but has only missed a drum once in five first-up efforts and a strong showing while fresh would not shock. BRERETON (10) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and is a must for the multiples. The well-related EMPEROR (11) (half to 3xG1 winner Joliestar) is aiming up for the hat-trick and cannot be discounted.
