#9 Light Years Charm has caught the eye in two local starts without breaking through, first flashing home late into fifth after encountering traffic issues in the straight, and then running on strongly from a wide gate to finish 1.75 lengths fourth, recording the fastest final 400m and 200m of the meeting. Moving into barrier 1 with Zac Purton booked to ride strengthens his chances. #13 Armour War Eagle recovered well after blundering at the start last time, charging home late for fourth. Trainer Mark Newnham has been steadily guiding him towards a win this season. #7 Liveandletlive will likely excel over further in time, but his debut over 1200m was respectable. With natural improvement second-up and the step up to 1400m, he can make an impression. #12 Patch Of Cosmo had little luck in his first attempt at 1400m last start but remains worth considering at odds for this race.
