I can't see how they're going to beat 2. Roadagain here. From their wide barriers, 5.All Bar One and 7. Any Suggestion will cross the field to lead, and Roadagain from barrier 2 will be sitting just off them ready to pounce in the straight.
The danger must be 3. Doonan who beat Al Maher over this distance in a 3yo set weights race at Rosehill back in August, but he's drawn a tricky ally and will get back, perhaps needing luck in this big field. It seems unlikely that he can concede a start at the top of the straight, get out and run down Roadagain.
Roadagain will get the perfect run, be in or near the lead at the top of the straight and has superior acceleration to this field. If there is any such thing on a racecource, he is a "good thing".
