A high draw is usually beneficial here but punters are going to be hard pushed to find a reliable sort amongst the preferred stall numbers. Both Dil and Sounds Lucky have a little to prove on grass and may not be seen to their best effect today. Whereas, Storyteller usually needs a couple of outings before he hits his peak. He is also a shade of his former self and would have taken a contest like this without breaking sweat in his heyday. Therefore a chance could be taken that Bowlers Boy can adapt his style to land his second course victory. He needs to come from well off the ace so the draw may be of little consequence to him and granted a clear run close home, he will give them all something to think about.
