Wapiti to take the lead and control the tempo. NAVAL SEAL (10) returned to a semblance of form last time out, going down by a narrow margin and gets a jockey upgrade in the form of Maloney. Has saluted around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. Hard to beat in this suitable contest. MASTER COPY (13) has hit the top-five in eight of his past nine starts and is usually thereabouts. A must for the multiples. AIDEN (14) course and distance winner who last start finished second, beaten a neck, over 2162m at Eagle Farm. In the mix. YET HE MOVES (5) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running sixth at Eagle Farm. Looks one for the minors. SUGGESTED PLAY: Naval Seal on top.
