OPENING ADDRESS (3) finished 3.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1600m at Flemington after being in contention on the corner three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. SHANWAH (2) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 1800m in the G2 Autumn Classic at Caulfield. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. RED ACES (1) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when 11th over 1600m in the G1 Australian Guineas at Flemington. Scored at his only try at this trip and can find peak form this time. STATUARIO (6) produced another moderate effort last start when 8 lengths from the winner in 14th over 1600m at Flemington at the second run back from a spell. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
