SPECIAL OCCASION (2) produced an encouraging effort for third when resuming in a Sires' Stakes semi final here two weeks ago. That was his first outing for more than five months so it should have improved him. Big chance from a low draw. ANDRETTI (3) did a good job to finish third when resuming at this circuit and distance. Won the only other time he raced here and is proven second-up so can progress aided by a good draw. KINGS WATCH (7) has been racing consistently and added to a string of top-four finishes when runner-up here last start. Draws wide but can be competitive again. DOMINUS (4) has won when second-up before so could be an improver.
