TRUE AMOR winner at Beaumont and placed twice this prep. Has trialled and won since last race 32 days ago. Has genuine early speed. Among the main chances. SUPERHERO resumes after a 32 week spell.

Big drop in trip for the first time. Should go well. SUNLORD disappointed when only placing as favourite last start at Sunshine Coast when first up and comes back to race in town. Won't be far away in the run. At least a place chance here.
