Porter, No Drama and Regal Tycoon to take up the running at a decent tempo. Tough way to finish. JACKKNIFE (7) is the interesting runner, making his Australian debut for the Maher yard. He won as favourite on debut at Epsom Downs before running 3rd to Opera Ballo in a Listed race, who is now a G1 winner in Dubai and a world class horse. Jackknife was solid to the line in a recent trial, happy to keep him on side here. PORTER (5) is flying. He chased home the in form Harry's Yacht over this route last time out, just overrun late by that horse who had a good run. Drawn wide but he'll push on and give a huge sight. NO DRAMA (6) comes down from Sydney in good form, through a fast race at Canterbury latest. He's got speed and can surprise at odds. ENAMORADA (15) won second up and has been back to the trials so should be fit. Could go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Go wide in the quaddie. 7,5,6 all appeal at odds.
