PAKENS ROCK shows no signs of letting up at the age of eleven and is weighted to garner a fourth success of the season on the back of his stylish course victory last time out. Charles Byrnes' Intent Approach appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps and rates the chief threat, with Cerberus and Little Mixup appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
