Francis Meynell has trended the right way in his past three starts following a return to 1,400m, including a recent second to King Dance after leading 80m out from better than midfield. He's drawn to get every chance from gate three. Chill Partners built on 1,200m second in February with a box-seat win despite gate 11 over 1,400m before getting no favours in a defeat from gate 13. He's capable of better but will need luck from gate 12. The All Rounder proved a box seat second at $42 following a gear change was no fluke in early-March with a rallying sixth and third in back-to-back runs ridden back from wide draws. He should map closer in the run from gate five. Voyage Boss has stayed on for minor cheques in six of seven 1,200m runs across both tracks this term and looks ready to retackle 1,400m after making headway late for fourth to Gold Patch ridden just off midfield last start from gate 14.
CHARMING BABE (J513) shortly after the start was crowded - Race 553.
CHILL PARTNERS (K484) rider stated that from his wide barrier he was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event and as a result his mount could not finish the race off in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 539.
BUCEPHALAS (K096) bumped at the start. Leaving the 1100M made contact with a runner. Rider stated that after holding an on-pace position his mount gave ground noticeably near the 200M but could offer no excuse for the performance. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 535.
LET'S HAVE FUN (L118) jumped only fairly. Between the 450M and the 400M was held up for clear running. Approaching the 250M became badly unbalanced when being severely checked. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 577.
