Stern Idol should lead them up today, with a bit of pressure from Leaderboard. Only five runners. STERN IDOL (1) was heavily backed in the Australia Chase at Sandown five weeks back, and won accordingly beating LEADERBOARD (2) by less than a length. That was on rain-affected going and they'll likely strike a similar surface again today. Fully expecting that pair to make up the top two in this one as well. FABALOT (3) looks some chance on recent form, having won a Terang maiden chase on June 15 over 3200m in the wet. Tougher now of course, but looks to be in some kind of form. INSTIGATOR (4) ran second in the Grand Annual on May 1, and although this is must shorter, he should definitely be respected. MUSTANG HARRY (5) looks to be just making up numbers here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Stern Idol to win this.
