HAY DUDE won a shade more cosily than the narrow winning-margin would suggest at Haydock last time. He gets a tentative vote in a wide-open contest. Tamayuz Star, Ebn Arab and Majestic Moon all have something to prove over today's distance but their form over 7f gives them every chance while King George River should appreciate the drop back to a mile. Enobled has strong claims if a disappointing run at Haydock last time is ignored while the Irish raider Machete Mark and Muharrib are others to consider. Party Royal and Short Squeeze are recent winners but have much more on their plate in this better company.
