Those towards the top of the handicap look to hold the key with a lack in depth below them. King's Vow is progressing nicely and has shaped as though he'll kick on again over this extra trip. Kastasa was strong in getting off the mark on her second start and is only likely to keep on improving as she also steps up in distance. LAURA BULLION and Whitsunday Islands are closely matched but the former showed a fine attitude in her success and she looks to be really moving forwards this campaign.
