PROMISES KEPT (1) finished runner-up behind his stablemate and second pick in the Hobart Cup last time out over this trip and is 2kg better off at the weights with that gelding this time. He can secure a cosy run from the pole position and is poised to turn the tables this time. STRAWBERRY ROCK (2) got in the final stride when beating the top pick by a short-head last start. He will need to find even more this time but another win is not out of the question. ALHAMBRA LAD (3) finished a brave third behind the top 2 picks last time out and will be at his peak fitness after having 4 starts back from a spell. He is up to winning this and can get the job done this time. PURE GRUNT (9) is a lightly tried stayer with a stack of potential. He booked his ticket to the Apple Isle after scoring over this trip at Sandown-Lakeside just over 3 weeks ago. He has a weight advantage over the top picks but can't be ruled out of a top 3 finish.
