#6 Excel Wongchoy will be a fitter horse second-up, and there was merit in his first-up performance as he held his fourth-place position throughout, beaten just a length and a half. #1 Floof seems to have improved from his stable change, evidenced by his eye-catching last-start win, and he may be able to build on that. #8 Forever Folks will benefit from a hot tempo if it eventuates, and he should be in the mix again. #9 Lucky Banner makes his own luck on pace, but he isn’t a prolific winner.
