Tim Vaughan is 4-10 in the last two weeks and holds a good hand here with Fraser Canyon and MIDNIGHT QUEEN. The topweight has strong claims on last season's form but Alan Johns opts for the selection and the hint looks worth taking. The mare landed a minor race over fences and was going well until stumbling at Sedgefield last time. She looks more progressive than her rivals and her stamina is proven. Beautiful People has a tough task off her new mark, whilst Apachee Prince and Keep To The Beat are difficult to win with. Mauna Kea and Backoftherock cannot be dismissed and should offer each-way value in a weak contest.
