The Lord Reims Stakes highlights the main track card this week with Adelaide Cup credentials laid down.
In that Lord Reims, am prepared to give Etah James another go after losing at odds on midweek in Melbourne.
She was found to have a problem there which they recover quickly from and off a six week freshen, it was never going to be easy back 700m then anyway.
This time she is back up to a better trip, likely heading for an Adelaide Cup tilt the week after.
She has reacted nicely to running with light weights and on ratings has to be in the finish.
A good run will see her a potential hope with no weight on her back in that Adelaide Cup.
Earlier, in a nice three year old BM70, we are keen on a Lindsay Park gelding on resumption.
Tycoon Dancer won on debut and then had a crack at much tougher 3yo company in the Spring, finishing a few lengths off them in Saturday Melbourne grade.
Given some time off he has trialled well winning his lead up. With the likely speed on, he can camp on the back of that and sweep home.
The 2kg claim for Fred Kersley cannot be a drawback either.
