Agree Son Of Vasac can take out the 2nd leg of the treble. Effectively gone up only 0.5kg for his winning the Coolgardie Cup (carried overweight), has won over 1800m at Ascot, also placed over 2200m same venue.

They have big plans for Wool Zone. Has 49kg in both the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups.
Set for this race and may have the services of the pontiff – subject to a stay of proceedings being granted in Harvey’s appeal to the Racing Penalties Appeal Tribunal against an 18-day careless riding suspension. Third run back from a short spell, should be just about cherry ripe.

The old boy Prince Of Pop, agree distance a bit of a query but wasn’t beaten far last start in the Coolgardie Cup.

Suspicion copped a few checks in running last start and not beaten far. Another who may be a query over the distance. Was beaten 4 lengths by Son Of Vasac over 1800m in December 02, but does meet that horse 3kg better on that run.

Eutectic is another who is a query over the distance. Beaten in a photo finish by Son Of Vasac in the Coolgardie Cup. Meets that horse 1kg better assuming Jackman can ride at 53kgs.

Agree with umrum re Priceless Matt. Does not look to be a lot of pace in this race so could get a cushy run up near the lead and if so would be hard to run down. Meets Son Of Vasac 0.5kg better on the weights for a 0.5 length defeat in the Coolgardie Cup.

Jashar Boy not the best of luck in the Coolgardie Cup, although well beaten. Query at the distance but still a chance with a soft run in transit.

Key To Cash likely to be outclassed.

Loch Wood likely leader. Another query at the distance and only a chance if left alone in front.

Morocco Bound lightly raced with some good recent Kal form. A rough show.

Precious Plume well beaten in the Coolgardie Cup. Would have to improve many lengths to be any chance in this race.

Space Age ex eastern states gelding who has run some reasonable races at Belmont. Not sighted in 3 recent races in Broome. Would have to improve considerably to be any chance.

Star Of Vain a good EW chance. Two starts back ran 3rd to Wool Zone beaten 0.5 length over 1650m at Belmont running on well. Meets Wool Zone 0.5Kg better in this race.

Swiss Echo another ex eastern states galloper. Not won in 7 starts in the west, been a bit in and out since coming to the west, best run 4 starts back at Belmont when 2nd over 1675m beaten 0.75 lengths carrying 60.5kg. Could surprise and I note Rogan Josh has selected as his longshot.

Violent Wind not a bad run in the Coolgardie Cup when beaten 4.25 lengths after receiving a heavy bump on straightening. Extra distance in his favour and could be placed at good odds.

Mint Play Loves Kal where he has won 5 races. Well beaten in his last city start and although a little unlucky on that occasion and is down in weight on recent starts looks to have only a rough place chance.

Mr. Guilty meets Mint Play 4.5kgs worse for a 0.5 length defeat over that horse over 1600m at Kal last start. Likely to be outclassed.

Santa D'Or 34 starts (all runs at Kal) for 6 wins. Last start well beaten by Mr. Guilty. Likely to be outclassed.
