It comes in the shape of Team Snowden's progressive sprinter King Of Sparta who resumes in the W. J. Healy Stakes.
The three-year-old made a hit-and-run mission to Queensland to win January's Magic Millions Guineas and while he hasn't raced for more than four months he has yet to miss a place fresh and has been readied with two Sydney trials.
King Of Sparta races well at this distance and with Tommy Berry aboard looks set for a first-up kill.
Promising filly Stroll looks a big chance to record back-to-back Listed wins when she lines up earlier in the program.
The O'Dea-Hoysted filly rated highly when she won in good style here last start, running on to claim the Bill Carter.
She tackles the boys this time but should appreciate the extra trip and is drawn to get the favours.
