PIMLICO (6) stalked the pace then after a stirring battle just got the cash in a 1200m maiden here ten days ago. Has only raced four times so there is plenty of improvement to come. Can win again in this tougher contest. ZOUCRATIC (5) also registered his maiden win last time out at the fourth attempt, getting home by half a length over 1250m at Newcastle. Only third-up today so don't expect him to be going backwards at this stage. Bjorn Baker's VIKTOR (2) is back from a six-month break. Closed last prep with a big win over this trip in a Mudgee maiden of questionable quality. Trialled twice so should be up for this. VALIANT BOMB (7) settled just off the speed then worked home well for third when resuming over 1250m at Newcastle recently. Genuine four-year-old who scored easily at this stage last prep. Right in contention. STORM SEASON (1) resumes. Opened last prep with a win over today's journey at Pakenham so must be respected.
