KING'S DUTY (2) exciting prospect racing in a rich vein of form. Finished powerfully when putting away similar opposition over the 1300m here on January 26. Up in weight today and no reason he can't go close again. VERONA ROSE (7) Castelvecchio filly who saluted at good odds when making her debut with a dominant victory over 1300m at Kembla Grange three months ago. Expected to have matured further over the break and only given the one soft 822m trial. Genuine winning prospect with McEvoy engaged. HORIZONS (6) handy filly resuming after going out a winner when a strong 1.3 len winner over 1600m at Kembla Grange last October. Has the two trials in readiness for this and can sprint well fresh. NORTON ROAD (3) disappointed in two runs back and worth another chance over his pet course and distance. Maps well and can give plenty of cheek.
