#6 Robot Knight worked too hard on the lead after jumping from a wide draw first-up. He should be fitter for this run, and a softer time in transit from barrier 2 could spark improvement. #3 Regent Glory finished a sound third on his return and is always worth a shot in a race like this, especially with Zac Purton in the saddle from barrier 1. #11 Jolly Companion presents an interesting case as he returns to the all-weather under Britney Wong’s 10lb claim. Although there are other speed influences in the race, barrier 4 should help his chances. #4 Aca Power excels at this course and distance, delivering big late runs, as seen two starts ago when he scored impressively. He will depend on a fast tempo from his wide gate.
