1 Hall Of Champ steps back to Class 4 which suits. He shoulders top weight but this is a weak field. 3 City Legend is looking to string three wins together. Put simply, he is on fire and the inside gate affords him every opportunity. 6 Ernest Feeling is on the up. He needs only to offset the wide gate. 10 Mission Smart draws the inside.

With a clean run, he looks capable of testing this bunch. 1 Danon Smash arrives in search of his third consecutive Group 1. He is in top form.

He just needs to overcome the awkward draw.
