Moderate tempo with It Is To Be leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. FLYING ARGENTO (7) at his top for this after finishing unplaced in the G1 ATC Australian Derby and fifth in the Orange Cup. Finally drawn a decent gate and should prove too strong for these. DE LOUVIERE (3) wound up strongly with the 59kg when a narrow third over 2200m at Scone. Senior rider back on and looks close to another victory. SAINT LOFT (8) has a good record over this course and distance and gets in light with the claim. Worked hard from the wide gate when a plugging fifth over 2100m at Benalla. Capable of taking a hand in the finish. IT IS TO BE (9) relished the jump in trip when a gritty nose win over 2200m at Nowra. On the quick backup and can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Argento to win.
