Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy

Growing Empire is having a superb prep. Worth plenty of thought in this and is a huge hope against this lot. Hard to knock TrafficWarden who was a late out of The Everest. Maps well here and will take beating. Switzerland bounced back to form with a big win last start, can go on with things. LadyOfCamelot maps well and has been thereabouts this prep.

1. Growing Empire (9)

Flying this prep. Drawn a little wide but brings in the clear best form and looks extremely hard to beat off the back of a third in The Everest. Keen.

2. Coleman (6)

Can’t have.

3. Traffic Warden (3)

Scratched from The Everest. Worth plenty of thought in this. Maps for a tidy run, Kah does the steering and this race does look within reach. Big danger to the on top selection.

4. Bittercreek (13)

Can’t have.

5. Switzerland (8)

Big return and win last start. Much harder here but commands respect off the back of past form. Capable of challenging these.

6. First Settler (10)

Flying this prep and form around is solid. Barrier 10 doesn’t make things easy but Dee does the steering and does still have plenty of upside. Decent chance.

7. Bodyguard (2)

Can’t have.

8. Gatsby’s (7)

Prefer others.

9. Stoli Bolli (5)

This looks too tough.

10. Yoshinobu (1)

Leaning to others.

11. Enriched (14)

Can’t have.

12. Gallant Son (12)

This looks too tough.

13. Lady Of Camelot (4)

Big effort in The Everest and maps for a kind run.

14. Bellatrix Star (11)

Flying this prep with three in a row. Drawn wide but does strike the right race here with even luck. Shinn does the riding and the stable are very much in form.

The following are the top 4 selections for this years race.
