Without a recognised leader, Sibeila and Sammaan City will likely set the pace. STARSONUS (1) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory placing at his past four starts and Maloney stays on board following the past two efforts. Boasts a placing over this distance range and rates the testing material against this lot. FIRST MAN (2) has hit the top-five in all five career outings to date and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Can feature in the finish again. NATIONAL INTEREST (5) has placed two from three over this track and trip and looks a must for the exotics players. BOROGORU (10) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 1,2,5.
