Exciting SPEEDMAN got back to winning ways when dropped from 1600m to 1450m last time and this shorter trip, even under a 6-point penalty, isn't likely to prevent him from adding to his tally. Fellow last-start scorer STONEYWOOD is maturing and should remain competitive off his revised mark. TITAN OF THE TURF hasn't been seen since finishing a close-up 3rd in a 2yo Grade 2 last season. He is open to any amount of improvement on his reappearance, so may pose the biggest threat if not needing the outing. PALACE PRINCE and filly BLUSHING BLOOM have earning potential too.
