Firmament (7/4), Don't Touch (5/2), Psychedelic Funk (4/1), Flight Risk (12/1), Gordon Lord Byron (12/1), Marshall Jennings (12/1), Sevenleft (20/1)
Gordon Lord Byron is the most consistent performer of these when it comes to tackling Group races. The conditions of this set him a stiff task but his tactical versatility and proven wellbeing make him the one to beat. Don't Touch tackles this trip for the first time and the lack of an obvious pacemaker may bring his speed into play. Having won first time up in each of his two season's racing there should be few worries on that score. PSYCHEDELIC FUNK was sticking on nicely behind Caravaggio last time and is worth another attempt at this trip. His yard are in form and have a good record in this. This could prove tactical and that would play into his hands and would count against Firmament. David O'Meara's raider is not far off this class judged by his official ratings and, provided the race is run to suit, he would be an obvious danger.
- Psychedelic Funk
