INDIAN OCEAN is the best-weighted runner in the lineup but is drawn wide and out of sorts. MO MENT (better over further) and HAWKBILL (off 119 days) are also favourably treated but unlikely to be fully tuned. Progressive 3yo WAYNE has finished 2nd in back-to-back starts over 1600m and on pedigree, this extended trip could be more to his liking. DANCE KING and THE PLAYBOY BOMBER are consistent performers at this level with solid credentials and they should be in the shake-up on current form. GIMMEACHOICE, ROBERT BROWNING and ROYAL EDITION have earning potential too.
