Verdict
This race has special meaning for the Sadik family and they run recent acquisition Old Page but the former pointer is facing a stiff task on his chasing bow. The Grey Monty is also having a first run over fences but should be suited having won between the flags. Canelo would have made short work of these in his prime but he appears to have completely lost the plot. SEEMINGLY SO came back to form when second at Perth and is just preferred to course specialist Dee Star, second in this last year but 7lb higher now.
