Big George was backed into favouritism at Perth and connections unquestionably feel that chasing is his game. He was a fair second on that occasion and it will be interesting to see if he can build on that first performance of note under Rules. Mister Wall Street has landed two of his three career successes here but his last victory was back in 2011, although his latest effort when third to Have You Had Yours reads perfectly well in the context of this contest and he should be in the mix. Saddle Pack was behind last time but has place claims, though the choice is KAYFROU. He faces his first chase since joining Brian Ellison on the back of a useful effort last time over hurdles. The market is best watched concerning Irish raider Right Strategy.
