DASHING RUPERT (1) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by half a length over 1100m at Scone. Won at his only second-up appearance and will be a tough nut to crack again. ZOUSAIN BOLT (5) was far from disgraced when third last start after being prominent at the bend over 1300m at Warwick Farm, beaten 1.2 lengths. That followed a win at Newcastle the start prior. Has the ability to return to the winner's list. HYPERBOLIC (8) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1200m at Wyong when fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will strip fitter and can atone. INVADE AND CONQUER (2) improved sharply last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1400m at Kembla Grange two weeks ago. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
