Rule Of Salex and Houdini Catarno to bowl along in front. Hard not to be impressed with the first-up run of MANA COMBAT (7), who settled in the second half of the field over 2050m at Mornington before hitting the line nicely to just miss. Can only be better for that, has had a hurdle trial since, and will only be better suited jumping to this distance. MASH AND GRAVY (9) has also been to the hurdle trials since his first-up run and while he won one at Hamilton on Apr 8 he lost the rider in the latest, which is the only knock on his current campaign. He's won two of three at this trip, so he's right in this. THE KINGS GOSPEL (4) is a last-start winner of a race that a number of runners in this race come through. Now he's back in winning form and drawn well with a fitness edge of a few others he's a big chance. PHOENICIAN (1) has struggled a touch since finally breaking the maiden but wasn't disgraced last start and will relish getting back up to this trip. BOYSZEE (3) wasn't far off The Kings Gospel last start and loves 2400m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mana Combat to win.
