PRINCE OF BOOM (4) found the lead a fair way out but was swamped late when resuming as favourite a fortnight ago in the 5f Ascot Quality at this track. Far better suited out to this distance. Will led or stalk from this good alley and he is sure to take plenty of catching. WEE NESSY (9) recorded a career-high performance last time out when she picked up the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes against the mares over this trip at Randwick. Ran the TJ Smith winner to 1.6 lengths prior to that so she is a classy sprinter. FRONT PAGE (6) started very short before knocking up in the heavy ground in the Hall Mark at Randwick recently. Just missed in The Galaxy prior to that so he doesn't lack the class to compete at this level. UNCOMMON JAMES (1) has been kept fresh since a close fifth in The Galaxy six weeks ago. Oakleigh Plate winner who is better than these if at his peak. GOLDEN MILE (2) ran a cracker last start in the George Ryder. This is short of his best but still a contender.
