Bellerophon to take the lead and control the tempo. BATTLEGROUND (2) is a handy type overdue for a win with pacing at last two. Has won 2/3 course and distance and expected to go close. EUPHRATES (6) looks a big danger. Racing very well and with the claim is weighted to take beating. MILITARY MOVES (5) wasn't far away last start in open class and drops in weight for this. Big chance. BELLEROPHON (4) is a lightly raced type with upside and worth including.
