AU - Kembla Grange - Race 3

MAJORIAN (1) hit the front and looked to be heading for an overdue win but was nailed on the line over 1 ½m here a fortnight ago. That was his first run for five weeks to add merit to the performance. Best form comes at 1 ¼m so this looks his race. CELEBRITY (2) showed the first glimpse of form for the campaign last time out when just out of the placings over 1 ?m at Randwick. Yet to be tested at this trip but has only raced five times and is by a Melbourne Cup winner so it shouldn't be an issue. LONGINUS (4) relished the step up to 1 ¼m recently when the comfortable winner of a Class 1 at Hawkesbury. Can improve further at just the fourth run of the preparation. KIRKUK (3) has been a bit one-paced of late in races at or around the mile. Might be ready for a first try at today's journey. ANULFA (5) finished alongside Majorian when they clashed here two weeks ago. Coming back in trip doesn't look ideal but she is very fit now and sure to be competitive.
