GLORY DAZE (6) consistent stayer with the three wins over this trip who brings the strong figures. Not sure he handled the quick back-up when a plugging third in the LR Lord Mayor's Cup at this track and trip. Races best with his runs spaced and has genuine top three claims. ELAMAZ (3) European import making his Australian debut. Sharp drop in grade here after running second at Baden Baden in the G2 Brnnr-Oettingen over the 1600m last September. Primed with the two searching trials and gelded over the break. Hard to stop. TOWNSEND (10) disappointed in three runs back and will hold a forward position on the limit. Good enough on his day and can give plenty of cheek with the blinkers coming off. LOCH EAGLE (2) massive win second up when coming from back in the pack to score over 1600m at Randwick in good time. Yet to win past 1800m but gets his chance from the draw. TOURISTIC (4) drifted further back than expected when a plugging seventh in the LR Winter Cup at Rosehill. Trip suits.
