From their good gates Garcon D'espoir, Clifton Danseur and Reward For Rosie will likely vie for the lead in a keen early contest. ZULU ANGEL (1) brings strong constant form and missed a nose here last time over 2100m, bet yours for theirs. On that effort, he should run the 2450m right out making him hard to beat. GARCON D'ESPOIR (7) resumed over a mile in the Group 2 Stutt Stakes at Moonee Valley beaten 5L. He raced well in Open 2s last campaign and has the ability. Steps up 850m and that's the query. The betting will be key. METAVERSE (2) won the Zulu Angel race by a nose and led them up. Pires goes on and he again benefits from a low barrier. He will get every chance to see out the trip. GOLDEN PROPHET (3) is going well enough to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Zulu Angel.
