GOING: S(7)

SCHWEPPES CHAIRMANS QUALITY 2600m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.54)  

Seo Linn should lead and control the tempo. JUJA KIBO (5) placed in The Metropolitan in the Spring and indicated a win was imminent with a gritty on-pace third over 2400m in the G3 N E Manion Cup over 2400m at Rosehill. Can get cover from the draw and take stopping. TARAMANSOUR (7) just under a month between runs with a slashing second from back in the field over 2400m in the G3 NE Manion Cup. Has a win in him this prep and can race closer to the speed here. Top-three contender. CAMPALDINO (1) consistent gelding strung up between runners with the 59kg before warming up late to run seventh in the N E Manion Cup over 2400m. Should be able to hold a prominent position and run a much better race. NEWLOOK (10) lightly raced stayer who wasn't that far away when fifth in the NE Manion Cup. Has further upside and no surprise to see him figure prominently. TRAVOLTA (3) drawn out at his last three starts and today is no different. Won the St Leger here over this trip in the Spring. Look for him late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,7,1,10.

Tough on-pace stayer who will prove hard to run down.
