GENTLEMAN ROY (2) comes here off a let up having run third in the G1 Memsie Stakes at this track and trip last start. He won the G2 PB Lawrence prior over some class animals and is an absolute rock at 1400m. He'll be very tough to get past. PINSTRIPED (1) was given a great ride to win the Memsie before pulling up with issues in the Makybe Diva. If he's over those problems, he's clearly got the class and will take beating from a nice gate. RIPCORD (8) worked home well at his Melbourne debut over 1200m. His only 1400m run it took Olly and Munhamek to burst through and knock him off. COASTWATCH (9) has been sound in two runs back and has each way claims.
