King Ramsis and More Than Hope can be prominent. Small field but some handy types lining up here. BACASH (1) looks the horse to beat on his Victorian form. If he replicates the performances that saw him break his maiden by 6L and then run second to the smart Jimmy Recard, he should be winning this. He should be right there from the low draw and have no excuses. MORE THAN HOPE (4) is an improving type that won well from the front last start. This is harder but he can go forward and give them something to catch. Looks a top-three prospect. KALMANA (2) is another on-pace and another last-start winner. Again, he will give himself every chance up on speed. KING RAMSIS (3) held off older horses to win last time and can measure up in the small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Bacash to win.
