WHAT THE KEY PLAYERS ARE SAYING:

* “We’ve started working him over a bit longer and he doesn’t turn a hair, if anything he looks like he’s enjoying it” – Redkirk Warrior’s co-trainer Tom Dabernig

* “He has run second in two Group Ones (in Perth) so he’s not far away. The depth is probably stronger here but he always acquits himself well” – Material Man’s trainer Justin Warwick

* “This is a beautiful target first-up and it’s easy to imagine him being highly competitive” – trainer James Cummings on Kementari

* “There’s no doubt he’ll be better suited over further but he was luckless fresh-up last campaign and he has good enough 1400-metre form to think he won’t be too far away” – Best Of Days’ trainer James Cummings
