HAJOUM is from a yard in form and after his win last time is taken to follow up at the main expense of Day Of The Eagle while Saucy Brown is respected. That latest win for the pick takes him to a career high mark but it was only his second start back from a break and he should improve from it especially with conditions in his favour. Day Of The Eagle picked up from where he left off with a nice win on his return to action. The form looks pretty solid from that contest and with him that bit fitter he should be a leading player from a revised mark. Saucy Brown won his only start over course and distance and looks weighted for another bold bid while Watch Amigo is on form and likes it here so despite a weight hike should feature. Shaded Edge is another for the list racing off bottom weight but in a tricky puzzle Hajoum looks the missing piece.
