The barriers for Purple Moon [15] and Maldivian [1] have opened this race up. It's been 64yrs since a horse won from B1 and Maldivian faces being shuffled buck into a ruck and even out the back. He'll need some serious luck in the mad race to the early turn.

The pack is going to put the speed on so as not to hand Maldivian a race to suit. Purple Moon will be ridden for luck and will need plenty from so far out and will probably be at the tail after the 1st turn .....might see Maldivian there :-))
