A tough one to call, which is complicated by the percentage of horses that have to run from out of the weights; however, LIZARD POINT is more consistent than most and can take the beating if he builds on his latest start. Dromana is lightly raced and merits serious consideration but there are dangers aplenty, so support for the likes of But I Like It, Papal Parade, and Sharjah could also be rewarding for each-way punters assuming a full field come through the starting stalls.
