Delago Mist and Mentality were both caught up in that Rubric disaster...both good chances here..Empires Choice run in the slipper was as good as any..
Miss finland..interesting they took the blinkers off ..wonder if she'll have that same sprint she showed in the slipper.
I cant forget Mentality's sprint a couple of starts ago...very impressive.

QE
looks a Desert War / Eremein quiny imo...i thought Desert War's run in the Donny was good. SHould lead this field and be hard to catch even over the 2000m


All Age
Will Snitzel run the 1400m out ? fought on well last start...hard race but you'd think Snitzel would take the sit behind Dance hero...barriers important here..Ryan must be confident as Snitzels off to stud and you wouldnt want a black spot on the resume..
