LIL ROCKERFELLER has looked to improve with every run since getting beaten in race last year and he won’t have two JP McManus hot-pots to cope with here and given his tremendous attitude and nature he deserves to win a race such as this. The six-year-old never knows when he’s beaten and this track and trip should play to his strengths and give him a good chance landing a second Grade 2 victory. Adrien Du Pont needs careful consideration as he ran well in Grade 1 in France and although he looks a chaser in the making his overall level of form is good enough to see him make a bold bid here. Cole Harden returns to the scene of his biggest success and although he’s not won since then, he's getting weight from all bar one of this field which presents him with a chance to put up a bold bid.
