Rum'un is expected to lead at a keen tempo. Plenty of win chances but liked the return of BRUTAL EMPIRE (13) who really found the line well late and was narrowly beaten. Fitter and looks tough to stop. SIR WILLIAM (8) also made a nice return, placing over 1150m here and will strip fitter. Will be in this for a long way. EQUIVASTER (11) was placed fresh then sixth last time but not beaten far. Draws out again but capable of a bold run. JUDGE ROYALE (6) started at 10/1 on debut but ran very well, finishing fourth here alongside Sir William. Has upside and should be in the finish again. GUBER (4) raced on speed and was narrowly beaten over a little further last time. Overdue and among the chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Brutal Empire.
