PASSION PRINCE (4) brings some solid ratings into this event, including last start when only 2.2L off the winner at this track and trip. He was fresh off 55 days there and should be better for the run. Can improve off that figure and end his winning drought. CRUNCHY NUT (2) got a long way back last start but closed off well to be just 3L off the winner, finishing behind Passion Prince. He draws a much better barrier today and he can turn the tables on Passion Prince without surprising. HUGHBERT (3) was only fair first-up over 1200m here but steps out in trip second-up. The draw is sticky, but if he can get back to something like his ratings from last campaign, he should be in the finish. MISS EUGEN (7) can improve second-up and out in distance.
