SPLITTHEEIGHTS confirmed the promise of his 1160m debut by improving to win a lucrative course-and-distance maiden last time, and he could follow up with improvement on the cards. Stablemate CLEVER TREVOR will appreciate reverting to this trip and is also open to improvement after a layoff on his reappearance after gelding. BELIEVE IN FATE was last seen in a 2yo Grade 1 and warrants respect on his return from a lengthy absence with top jock Richard Fourie booked to ride. ANTONIO GAUDI and SPY STORY are consistent hard-knockers with the form and experience at this level to be competitive.
