Track: Good 4 Weather: Fine

The winner of last years edition was Namesake and the year prior was Johnny Rocker. The favourite Embassy maps for a good run from 5. Shinn steers and ticks all the boxes. Don’t Forget Jack needs luck from the draw but is undefeated and has good upside. Tehina leaps up in grade but has food potential. Depth Of Character won well on debut and measure up to this lot.

1. Embassy (5)

Has been around the mark in some strong races to date. Maps well from barrier 5 and Shinn does the steering. Hard to beat against this lot.

2. Astapor (10)

Can’t have.

3. Heavenly Impact (4)

This looks too tough.

4. Silva ‘N’ Suave (12)

Leaning to others.

5. Depth Of Character (3)

Good win on debut kicking well and proving too strong. Barrier 3 ensures a good run in transit and this race suits.

6. Megastar Heart (14)

Beaten easily by Broadsiding and that form is good for this. Maps a bit tricky from out there but capable of winning with even luck.

7. Astra Star (11)

Can’t have.

8. Don’t Forget Jack (9)

Undefeated to date. Suited to this field and has the right upside to take this out. Looks around the right price.

9. Peace Centre (2)

Big win on debut and can measure up this lot. Suited by the field and the booking of Williams suits.

10. Territory Ash (15)

Can’t have.

11. Heinous (13)

Won nicely before heading to the paddock in open company. A recent trial was encouraging and finds a winnable upon returning.

12. Appellant (1)

Can’t have.

13. Tehina (6)

Good win last start winning by just under 3 lengths. Collett sticks and has good upside. Can win.

14. Tiye (8)

Can’t have.

15. Written Legacy (7)

This looks too tough.
