HES CHIMING (2) has the hoof on the till having finished runner-up in three of his past four starts here, last time leading from a wide barrier and sticking on. Should get every chance from this more favourable draw. MIGHTY FLYING ART (3) has been down the track from back row draws in his last two outings but led to win here four back so can take advocate of this more favourable draw. BETTORS HOPE (1) has been solid from wide barriers at his last couple to follow a string of placings. Well served by the ace draw. PLATINUM JEWEL (5) must be respected after finishing runner-up from this barrier here last time out.
