This has proved to be a smart contest in recent years and there's some strong candidates from powerful yards again on show.
Venedegar sets the standard on the form he's shown so far including in a warm contest at HQ last time, although his stable's form is a worry. However the debut of
AUSSIE NUGGET wasn't unnoticed and he should be making his mark in better races after showing a smart turn of foot from a slow start.
Dawn Treader and in particular
Kosciuszko showed promise on debut and with both stable's having a strong record in this race have to be respected.
Gentle Look can leave his first run behind while
Jeweller is a very interesting newcomer.
