#1 Daily Trophy will be more effective second-up, especially with the switch to the all-weather track. The combination of Hugh Bowman and Caspar Fownes, fresh off a treble at Happy Valley, makes them the pair to beat. #3 Smart Leader closed strongly into fifth first-up, typical of his style, and he will be finishing hard once again under the urging of Zac Purton. #5 High Rise Power had excuses first-up with mucus in the trachea. That was his first start for a new trainer, and given his improved trial leading into the race, he could surprise at a price second-up. #4 Spangle Fortune drops into Class 5 where he’s best suited, reuniting with winning jockey Derek Leung.
