HOUSE OF CARDS (4) only got going late here over this journey and made solid inroads to grab second. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt. Expect to see him get rolling earlier this time. Bold showing anticipated. CLIMB THE LADDER (7) was an emphatic maiden winner last start at Sandown-Lakeside, putting the best part of 4L to his nearest rival. Tougher this time but he's up to the mark. CODE IN TIME (1) hasn't put a foot wrong in his last two as he shoots for the hat-trick. Dug deep to get the verdict over this track and trip last start and with a similar set-up he can repeat the dose. DON PEDRO (3) had the better of HOC here last start after showing good tactical speed. Concedes weight this time but is open to further improvement third-up and is among the main chances from his advantageous draw. COSMIC LAD (10) was desperately unlucky here two back but failed to go on with it last start at Randwick. Dropping back to 1400m is a tick. Don't dismiss easily.
