Hotel Grand
Primus
De Beers
Darci Brahma

Subs: Spinney

Hotel Grand is easily the best pick in this race. If he runs even at 90% of what he is capable he should win it easily. I'll be disspoainted with anything else.

Primus has been running ok but hasn't tackled this distance before. He is a solid horse though and can't be left out of the top 2.

De Beers has a good inside barrier draw and looks like he has been aiming to run this race. I expect him to hold just off the leaders and come home strongly.

Darci Brahma has been dissappointing in his last few races and has had no acceleration at the end of his races. Hopefully he finds form again today. Still his disspoainting form miught still be enough to cover the rest of this field.

It was a very hard decision to not include Spinney but first time at this distance and a very bad barrier draw for this could see him sitting too wide on the turns (unless he falls back or burns up energy getting to the lead).
