Verdict
STAND GUARD will start odds-on to land this and looks to have a straightforward task. Well clear of the opposition on today's terms, John Butler's charge can make it five wins from his last six starts. Activate won over track and trip earlier this month and looks next best ahead of the unreliable Volcanic Jack and the latter pair are in turn rated much higher than Sing Alana Sing, who has little chance at the weights.
