I'm sure most would agree that Plastered should win this. But very short.
Master Minx looks a good chance to make up the quinella.
Bicton is a surprise (imo) acceptor. No distance form at all & listed at 80/1.
Did run 2nd over 1600M first campaign (running on). Parnham combination going pretty well. Might include in my multiples.

Can Plastered lose? i think if we can get $1.50 it is a great bet, he is 4 classes above these (favorite for the cups for god's sake). He meets all the same horses he faced and beat last time, gets a minimum 2kg weight relief here, and will be that much fitter. Only bad luck will beat him but with a great barrier and a top jockey on, it shouldn't be an issue. Master Minx was a nice run last start but in no circumstances can i see it turning the tables here.
