Verdict

ANTIPODEAN (1) made good late ground from the back but never threatened over 1 ¼m at Group 1 level at this track last time out. Good record at this journey and expected to be in the finish this time in a far easier assignment. NOAH KHAN (6) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 6f at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Likely improver with strong prospects. BANKER'S SECRET (9) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished sixth when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track then improved and scored over 7f at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. One of the chief contenders. PACIFIC VAMPIRE (2) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only a head, over 6f at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. In the mix.
