It is hard to be confident about any of these. SHANTOU FLYER looks the obvious one based on official ratings and a Kelso victory that confirms his wellbeing. He made hard work of it last time but he will set out to make full use of his stamina and expose any flaws in Southfield Vic whose stable's record in this contest is more impressive than his latest efforts. The fact his trainer perseveres with him suggests he may still have something to offer.
