APACHE CHASE is back in very good form in Brisbane this prep and rating well. Maps ideally on pace and very hard to beat again.

I’M THUNDERSTRUCK will also be hard to beat. He showed in Victoria that he’s a high-class galloper who arguably should have won his last four. He’s rating well. Has some issue on the map but Bowman a plus.

COUNT DE RUPEE is another one who I think has another level in him yet. He’s been good in both runs back this prep, rating well, and maps well here.

PRIVATE EYE had a good win at Randwick last start. He has an issue on the map, but he is in form and has Nash.

ELLSBERG has been good in both runs back. He maps ideally and though he doesn’t yet rate well enough to win this, I don’t think we’ve seen his top yet. He may have another level, which puts him right in this if he does.

AEGON is going to go around over the odds from the terrible gate, but I think we could see a run. He’s off a let-up, trialled well recently and has enough ability to pinch it.

LAWS OF INDICES is a well performed overseas runner who may prefer a bit of sting out and has a terrible draw. But he has the ability to win.

EXOBOOM was a solid enough winner last start. His rating there wouldn’t win this though. That being said he is only a four-year-old who may have another level yet. He’s fourth-up and backing up, and should be ready to find it if he does have it.
