Bullpit fires out from barrier one with Sovereign Duke perhaps closest to him in the run. Bullpit is very fast and will lead them, Lord Barrington, Sovereign Duke and Royalic all have good speed too so expecting a solid tempo. INVINCIBLE AL is a very effective short courser who usually performs fresh and this race appears to set up well for him to be finishing over the top. GOT THE GOSS has an excellent record at this trip and won four from seven first-up. Should run well here. BULLPIT went a bit too quick last time at Flemington but if he's a little more controlled here he could take some running down. Dance With Fontein and Gibbon are good winning chances as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Think Invincible Al can be too smart.
