Verdict

A good prize is up for grabs so it is no surprise to see a strong field of handicappers show up. Several of them boast solid course form and the pick of them may be RIPP ORF, who won the Victoria Cup earlier this year and has since run another fine race over C&D. Cape Byron is running into top form and looks a big danger, bottom weight Warsaw Road represents a shrewd stable and Sabador is weighted to run a big race. Others to consider is a minefield for punters include Zhui Feng, Mubtasim, Gilgamesh, Raising Sand, Belle Meade and Chessman.
  1. Ripp Orf
  2. Cape Byron
  3. Gilgamesh
