Off the low draw The Stalagmite can take it up a race lacking a genuine leader. UNANSWERED (6) did well off a wide gate when finishing fourth at Belmont 2 weeks ago when running on strongly from well back. He is drawn out again for this, but will have the services of William Pike, and that usually makes all the difference. On top. WAR TRAIL (2) ended his initial prep with a close-up second at Bunbury before being put aside to mature. He has had 3 tune-up trials leading into his return and should not be in this class for long. XELCIMUS (3) gets back, and is usually running on in her races, although she did have an excuse last start when racing too keenly in the running. She has had a gear chance since then, and will be peaking at the right time, so stick with her. EMPIRE OF ROME (9) made his debut out of his rightful class and was not far off the money. He drops 5kg, and with the aid of the pole position, he is worth including in all combinations. GOD'S CHOICE (12) will be suited by the step up to 1300m for the first time, and she can continue to improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Unanswered can win this.
