Track: AW      

Chief Runner, House Of Sussex and Jambo Sana will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Casino Ace and Lucky Spirit. MUNCHKIN (6) should have finished closer to the winner over 1000m on the turf last time as he had to be steadied at the 100m mark. He drops back in class and may enjoy racing on the polytrack. His good draw of two is a big plus and he can return to winning form. THUNDER MASTER (5) stayed on well when fifth over 1300m on the polytrack last time. Andrew Fortune is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. JAMBO SANA (4) should have finished closer last time as she was tightened for running room at the 150m mark. Four of her five career victories have come over this course and distance. She is having her peak run and would not be a shock winner. SWISS WALT (2) is better than his last start run over 1000m on the turf would suggest. His form prior to that outing was good. He drops back in class and cannot be discounted.
