BEST BET - #1 - Scarlet Prince (BEST BET)
Scarlet Prince comes out of a tough midweek race at Kensington a couple weeks ago and I think can still win with top weight in this field. He was second up there after having a 2 month break from racing when setting second and two wide in the run and just holding second place. He did look to be wanting longer and now he comes into this fit and ready for the trip, Clark booked is a bonus.
THE DANGER - #4 - Youthfull
Brad Widdup is a beast with his staying horses and I think that Youthfull should be ready to fire now fourth up and having had a run at this trip. He has been building towards a win and last stepped out over the 2000m at The Hawkesbury where he came on strongly from the rear of the field to finish just off the winners there. Well placed.
VALUE BET - #7 - Supertrail
Supertrail has been flying for the Cavanough stable and has to rate as a key chance here. His last two runs have come over the 2100m and 2300m respectively and in both he has sat behind the leaders before clicking up powerfully in the straight to fall short only to one smart horse in either run. Well placed to go one better now and is crying out for a win.
