|---|---|---|---|---|

Good tempo expected with Bomb Perignon, Show'em Who's King and Bills Angel rolling forward.
One for the maiden stayers. ARGENTUM ROCK (5) has just missed the frame in all three runs this preparation and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Gets 1.5kg off with the claim and can make his presence felt against this line-up. KOJAK (1) will strip fitter third-up from the break and should appreciate the step-up in journey here. Must be respected out of the Bruce barn. BOMB PERIGNON (10) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and hails from the champion Waller yard. Top-three conveyance. SHOW'EM WHO'S KING (3) has been right there in all three career outings to date and shouldn't be discounted lightly. BLUE POLES (8) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,1,10,3.
