Matt Cumani believes the key to Khoekhoe running out the distance of the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick is having the freshness raced out of him.

Trainer David Payne has a handy measuring stick when it comes to pitting Montefilia against the colts and geldings in the Rosehill Guineas.
