ALALCANCE (8) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 2.5 lengths win over 2600m in the G2 Chairman's Quality at this track to make it three on the bounce. Goes up a notch this time but is expected to be in the finish. BIRDMAN (15) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four appearances this prep, finishing 2.5 lengths away in second most recently over 2600m at this track. Key runner who should feature in the finish. DUKE DE SESSA (1) is close to a win placing at last couple, the latest finishing a 0.9 lengths second in the G1 HE Tancred Stakes at Rosehill and drops in the weights for this. Harry Coffey who has two wins when partnering stays on. Certainly one to consider. WARMONGER (7) ran tenth at his latest appearance over 2400m at Rosehill, clocking in 9 lengths from the winner. Can give this a shake.
