Bankers Choice should spear straight to the front of the small field. The $200,000 Group 3 Lord Mayor's Cup. TAVI TIME (1) bounced back to the winners' list last time out with a strong win in the Scone Cup and has placed two from two over this distance range. Will be at his peak now fourth-up from the spell and gets winning rider McDonald back in the saddle. Can feature prominently from the favourable draw. NEW ENDEAVOUR (5) has been right there in all four outings this campaign and looks to be working up to another victory. Looms as the main danger. BANKERS CHOICE (3) has put back-to-back wins together and has since been given a bit of a freshen up to prepare for the drop back in trip here. Hard to ignore winning form. REGAL AZMON (2) has hit the top-four in 12 of his past 13 starts and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Has to be included in calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tavi Time to win again.
