WORLD ALLIANCE (10) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 1100m at Canterbury after being in the firing line all the way. Will drift back but wind up late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TIME TO BOOGIE (5) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at Rosehill with success over 1100m at Rosehill three weeks ago, getting home by a head after being in the firing line on the corner. Has the talent to build on that fine effort last start. DARK GLITTER (8) stepped up in trip to 1400m last time in the G2 Guy Walter Stakes at Randwick and ran below her best, finishing 4 lengths away in eighth. Record at this shorter journey is sound so is capable of a lot more this time. CLOUDLAND (7) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at Randwick. Boasts a first-up record of three wins and three placings from six starts. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
