Flat record holder who gets conditions in his favour this time. Had some heavy rain last night (it woke me up - which is a big effort!) which is perfect for him - with more on the way - having said that really he doesn't want it Heavy.

This is his distance 13 of his 18 wins have come over the 1200m.

Has been racing below par in his past few. Especially two starts back when beaten 20.5 lenghts on this track in slow conditions.... last run and run 3 stars ago was well of the pace as well (5-6 lengths)

Does get the claim from Guthrie which puts him in at 1 kg over the minimum which he will appreciate
Having said all that it is hard to make a case for him winning - certainly rates in the top few, but he's just not racing well enough at the moment and IMHO I really think they are just hoping he eeks out one more before he gets to rest in the paddock - sucking down molases milk shakes......

For me:

1. Poet's Voice (Callow Factor)
2. Stratton Place
3. Paris Zero
4. Gibernau
5. Beach Box
6. Dandy Kid

Don't know it this helps...... but good luck -

I'd like to see him win !
