POMPEY (11) just missed in the Luckgray in a strong run to the line. He does drop back in trip but is a course and distance winner only three starts ago. He's ticking along nicely and McGruddy looks to have options from the draw. Looks the one to beat. Have been impressed with how VAST ART (4) has trialled heading into this event. He's a fresh winner previously as well as a track and trip winner. CJP has never finished out of the placings when riding, including four wins and the inside draw reads nicely. Can make a winning return. LET'S GALAHVANT (1) just keeps on chugging along, missing by 0.8L in the RJ Peters last week. On the 7-day back-up but is racing well and merits plenty of respect. RIVER RUBICON (3) rattled home from the rear in the Luckygray after being slowly away. He's sure to be storming home once again. MAGNIFICENT ANDY (2) is racing well and has plenty in his favour today. Sure to go close.
