TARPAULIN (5) above average sprinter gelded over the break. Returns in a winnable race after having mixed luck at Group and Listed level last time in. Has impressed in both trials and his two wins have come on heavy tracks. Will be charging late. STORM THE RAMPARTS (1) courageous on pace sprinter racing in career best form. Adept in all conditions and will prove hard to run down after being nailed on the line when second over 1000m at Randwick. SHALL BE (4) progressive gelding who deserves his chance in this company first up. Came ahead in leaps and bounds last campaign and drawn to get the right run with Osmond's 2kg claim. Fitted with the one 845m trial and not to be underestimated. DEPRIVATION (2) back in class for this and expecting improvement on the rain affected track. Far from disgraced when seventh over 1100m at Canterbury in BM88 grade. Value prospect. ZARAGOZA (9) comes here in peak condition, and he looks the pick of the rest.
