Verdict

MATTHEW FLINDERS made a very good fist of things on his first attempt over 7f when second in a Chester listed and is fully 10 lb well-in compared to his future mark so he's narrowly preferred to Motakhayyel, who had a few of these in behind when easily landing his second Bunbury Cup. Jamie Osborne pair Raising Sand, who won this in 2019, and Cliffs of Capri are 2 who could go well at bigger odds.

  1. MATTHEW FLINDERS
  2. MOTAKHAYYEL
  3. RAISING SAND
