Stable companions MOOLA MAN and POCKET WATCH are consistent at this level and should acquit themselves competitively, though a slight preference is for the latter from gate 2. Last-start winner ROYAL EDITION remains competitive under a 3-point penalty while TOTAL SURRENDER should pose more of a threat on 1,5kg better terms. Hard-knocker CELTIC RUSH and recent hat-trick scorer EIGER SANCTION, even at this level, aren't without a chance.
