Verdict

MONTEFIORE (9) looks close to another win after back-to-back seconds at this circuit. Worked from a similar draw to this and was brave two back then was less than 3m from the winner in a higher-graded race last time. This is winnable with even luck. TIL HEAVENS ROCKN (5) is working towards a win having placed in the last two outings at Penrith. Close to peak fitness now and goes well at this distance. Primary contender. LOCHIEL (7) should find this easier than recent attempts and has claims off his win here last month. RADIANT AMBER (8) draws wide but has been close-up of late so can be competitive with even luck.
