The outside draw presents KINGMAKER (11) with a challenge but his form is very hard to knock. He was also drawn wide when hitting the line for an eye-catching third last week and had won two in a row here prior. Proven at this longer distance and could go close. NYACK (10) has had four weeks off but he was just a head behind Kingmaker from a similar barrier last start and beat that rival when winning here prior. Big chance to do that again. UBETCHA TIGERPIE (7) has taken big strides in his last two wins here, coming from this barrier to beat some strong rivals last week. Proven at this longer distance so could land the hat trick. ROCK N ROLL DOO (9) has been solid from similar draws in his two starts since a spell and races well third-up so could be close to peaking. Tougher test for HORN PLAYER (1) but he is in form and aided by the inside draw.
