WORLD ALLIANCE (10) smart sprinter ready to peak after two good runs back. Drops 6kg in weight for this after knocking up late when a tough neck second over 1100m at Canterbury in BM78 grade. Drawn to stalk the strong tempo and will prove hard to hold out. DARK GLITTER (8) underrated mare who will find this more to her liking with the claim after being outclassed when eighth to Amelia's Jewel over 1400m in the G2 Guy Walter Stakes at Randwick last start. Goes well at this track and trip and is capable of bouncing back. CLOUDLAND (7) good sprinter who returns after a spell of four months. Has excellent first-up stats and a recent 1000m trial win suggests he's forward enough for this. Gets his chance from the draw. SWISS EXILE (9) near his top for this third-up and gets conditions to suit. Ran a close-up fourth to Spring Lee over 1200m at Randwick. Sure to be strong late.
