GRAND ARMEE is obviously the one to beat. Be surprised if he doesn’t win.

If ST REIMS can improve on his last campaign here could be a smoky. Going great guns in NZ and may even give Grand Armee a run for his money.

Would not be surprised to see proven WFA performer MUMMIFY run a big race in this. Not suited the slow track yet great run in the Chairmans. Has done OK track and distance in the past.

Cox Plate winner SAVABEEL is now back in Sydney and should be ready to produce best. Unbeaten this distance and has done OK this track in the past.
