Verdict
Superchief can normally be relied upon to give his running around here, but he has been done no favours by the draw, while Long Tall Sally has yet to prove she stays this far. With a decent draw and no doubts about the trip, Kinsman gets the vote. He was beaten by his outside draw here last time when a strong finisher behind Temper Tantrum and he is taken to reverse the form. Behind him that day was Double M, who again takes him on here. The latter is much better off at the weights in this, but he is arguably better over sprint trips.
