In depth
Verdict
Champion Lodge was just touched off by Prize Winner last time out under similar conditions and he will be hard to beat if he can reproduce that form. Port Moresby is thrown in on his best form and he signaled a return to form last time out when fourth under a big weight. Medallist ran well last time out when fourth and not having the clearest of runs and he to should run a good race. Pinchincha looks a lively outsider who could run well at a fair price.
