VICENTE will be another short-priced favourite in this. He's been a bit disappointing so far over longer trip but has little to beat here and won by a distance over 2m5f over these fences 12 days ago ahead of Veauce De Sivola. Chinatown Boy and Roving Lad are recruits from the point-to-point circuit but can chase home the selection as Lupita has had 21 tries over fences and is getting no nearer.
