Sir Chartwell is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. Good edition of the Sandown Cup with the Andrew Ramsden providing the key lead up. SIR CHARTWELL (5) was huge odds there but ran very well, beaten 1.3 lengths by Zakouma into third. He drops 3.5kg off that and profiles as if the 3200m will suit perfectly. The tricky one to gauge is THE WESTERN FRONT (6) was sixth in the Ramsden in a solid effort and is in the mix ahead of TEMPESTI (3) who ran on well in the Warrnambool Cup. Both deserves major respect after some key scratchings. CROUCH (1) also comes through the Ramsden and looks best of the rest in his second start in Aus. Open to improvement stretching to this trip and keep Coffey. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sir Chartwell on top.
