HEZ SO ROYAL (5) took his record at this circuit and distance to six from nine when he led from a similar draw to score by more than 11m last time. That made it three wins in a row, a streak that includes a Golden Nursery victory from the back row. His form stands out here and he is the clear top pick again. STEAM MACHINE (6) has missed by just a nose when runner-up in his last two outings at this circuit and distance, the latest from this barrier. He can be in the finish again. GYM JUNKY (1) just edged out Steam Machine last time, giving him two wins and two placings from the last four starts. Draws to be competitive again. LUCKY BAMBINO (9) is a first-four chance after finishing runner-up in both starts this time in.
