THE LEXUS BART CUMMINGS
AETHELWULF (9) is also entered and favourite in The Metropolitan in Sydney and with conditions likely to be much drier there, suspect he'll stay in Sydney. If here and the stable are happy he's clearly the one to beat with a very exciting staying profile. WOOTTON VERNI (1) is going much better than the form guide might suggest. He ran on well fresh at 1400m then was wide on a fast pace second up. Fancy he was in the worse ground last time and a wet track brought out a big win in the Autumn. JUJA KIBO (7) has been very good in two runs back, trying hard behind The Euphrates second up in a strongly run race. That's good form and he gets in well. CAMPALDINO (3) faded in the G3 Naturalism last time, not having the turn of foot to sprint with them. His best is good enough and up to 2500m now can see his stamina kick in. LITZDEEL (11) was game in the G3 Archer here latest and gets in much better at the weights now.
