Shade keen, tracked leader, awkward 1st, led 3rd, made rest, not fluent 7th (water), hit 8th and next, quickened clear after 3 out, shaken up between last 2, easily tchd 5/6
Exxaro (5/6), Alcala (10/11), Such A Legend (9/4), Royal Plaza (6/1), Driftwood Haze (12/1)
ALCALA is worth giving another chance after getting beat at short odds last time. Such A Legend is a game sort who should make it difficult for his rivals from the front while Royal Plaza was in good form last year and may be capable of bouncing back.
