From the wide draw Sweet Cheval can cross and set up a solid tempo. TOP HONOURS (3) can be considered the toughest to beat in what looks an open affair given he wasn't beaten fair last start at Seymour, which was only first-up, has drawn better here and will be suited by the step up in trip. MONT SAINT MICHEL (5) will be nearing peak fitness after two runs back, has also drawn well and will appreciate 1400m. SWEET CHEVAL (7) has a tricky wide gate to contend with but has a trial between runs and should be ready to show something like his best. FIRM AS A ROCK (12) only needs to repeat the encouraging first-up run to be a factor. MAWHERA (2) was run off his legs first-up but can improve up to 1400m second-up with the benefit of a jockey's claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Top Honours to win.
