This looks very difficult as much will depend if the gaps appear at the right time for many of these. Oriental Relation has a definite chance on the best of his form but does have a poor last effort to overcome and he hasn't the best of draws either, a comment which can also be attributed to The Big Lad and Foxy Forever. Rio Ronaldo has claims at his best too but he can be a frustrating customer and the veteran TAAJUB is a hopeful choice. Hopefully he can break well from the five stall and try to claim the rail as he could prove tough to pass off this mark on a going day. Bonjour Steve and Secret Asset have also done well with the draw and the pair could prove dangerous from the foot of the weights.
