Kingmax showed ability over 6f last May and debuts for a new yard on his reappearance. Hello Sydney finished well ahead of Banbrook Boy when fourth over 7f here a fortnight ago but TWO TEMPTING is preferred. The latter was no match for a Godolphin odds-on favourite when runner-up over course and distance but would have finished closer with a clear run and can go one better in this. Busselton is the first foal of a Listed winner and is worth a second glance.
