Verdict
Hily Distinguished will have needed his recent run between the flags after a break and his overall form under Rules entitles him to respect. Gold Ducat ran well enough behind Mr Goodenough at Gowran to put him in the picture while Harps Counsel was narrowly beaten in a similar event here in December and should give a good account. Ian Ferguson won this in 2009 and can repeat the process with CASSON, who has disappointed under Rules in the past but has looked in very good form between the flags and is one of the few guaranteed to enjoy the quicker conditions.
