Veteran NEBRAAS had UNITED COUNCIL, ARUMUGAM and EXPLOSIVE BOND well behind when finishing 2nd in a Listed race over 3200m last time and need only repeat that performance over this shorter trip to end a 794-day winless streak. SILENT WAR and TWO MILES WEST are unknown quantites over this extended distance but could have roles to play if improving for this sterner test of stamina. FETCHING FLYER isn't taken lightly either.

CHERICHERILADY improved with the benefit of an introductory outing to finish 3rd over track and trip last time. She should have more to offer and is likely to fight for victory. ONE SUMMER didn't go unnoticed on debut behind that rival and with natural improvement should acquit herself competitively. FAIR PROPOSAL, LET'S GO LOLA and SEASON'S GREETINGS will also know more about it after satisfactory introductions. Watch the betting on the newcomers, especially well-bred 2yo fillies QUEEN OF PEARLS and QUEENSLAND.

CHAPBOOK was on debut when dead heating with experienced CARNARVON over track and trip recently but the former would have come on appreciably with the benefit of that experience and should improve to get the better of his familiar foe. PALACE ATTACK also acquitted himself well in defeat on debut so could have a role to play with natural improvement expected. ROYALE JACKET has also shown enough to make his presence felt. Watch the betting on well-bred newcomers JAN VAN GOYEN and TIGER'S CAPTAIN.

Consistent GOLDEN WARRIOR has improved to finish in the money in both starts with blinkers fitted. He was touched off last time and need only repeat that performance to fight for victory once more. However, it could pay to side with MASTER SPY who caught the eye on debut over a shorter trip and will have benefitted from that experience. On the evidence of that display the step up to this trip should be more to his liking. REJUVENATE appeals most of the remainder.

PHIL THE FLUTER and CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD are closely matched on recent form but the latter could turn the tables on 2.5kg better terms and with blinkers refitted. CURTISS CONDOR, MIRROR FLECTION and 2yo FIRE STARTER have shown promise in both outings and needn't improve much - if at all - to fight out the finish. Filly NKWENKWEZI also has the form and experience to trouble her male rivals.

INTRO is a long-time maiden with the form and experience to acquit herself competitively, though she is vulnerable to less-exposed rivals LAVA LAMP and youngster ETHICAL - both have shown enough to suggest they won't be maidens for much longer. The latter stayed on to finish 2nd over this trip on the Inside track last time so the switch to the Standside course should be more to her liking. Fellow 2yo fillies BOLD ACTION, FIRE ON FIRE and INTO DANCING also have legitimate money chances.

COUNT HUHTIKUU finished ahead of BACCHUS in a similar contest over 1600m last month and should have the measure of that rival again over this extended trip, despite a 0.5kg weight turnaround. Lightly raced DJ JUNIOR scored in his only appearance at this level and should play a leading role. Last-start winners JORDAN and TAXHAVEN remain competitive under resultant penalties, along with hard-knockers APACHE SON and QUATERMAIN. Both BEYNAC and HAWKBILL have earning potential.

Good race. BUFFALO STORM CODY is unbeaten in 2 starts as a gelding and on a steep upwards trajectory. He carries another hefty 8-point penalty for winning a similar contest last time but the hat-trick seems well within his compass. Comeback winner READY TO CHARGE, last-start winner YAMADORI, Grade 2 entry DANTONFROMSANDTON and consistent QUANTUM THEORY all have the means to expose any chinks in the selection's armour. TROPPO VELOCE and DREAMLAND complete the shortlist.

A competitive sprint in which cases can be made for most. POINTER is course-and-distance suited and is better than her recent form over 1400m suggests, so must be respected. SIMPLY MAJESTIC, ALESIA'S LOVE and GREAT NOTION fit a similar profile. Last-start scorers RAINING RUBIES and BLIZZARD SNOW have more to do at this level but remain competitive under their resultant penalties. EXCEEDINGLY GLAM, WHIRLYBIRD and HONG KONG are better off at the weights with their last-start conquerors and should pose more of a threat on these terms. Consistent class-dropper KINDRED HEART has leading claims.
