Solid pace with Street Art and Dj Junior showing out with Beynac also applying pressure. COUNT HUHTIKUU (11) was running on well when third over 1600m on this course last time. He won his maiden over this course and distance and may be the one to side with. JORDAN (6) found betting support when winning his last start over 2000m on the Inside course. He has won once and finished second twice from six starts over this distance. He is drawn widest of all but Chase Maujean knows him well and he should give him all the necessary assistance needed from the saddle. BACCHUS (1) started favourite last time over 1600m at this track but could only manage fifth of 10. Won't be bothered by this longer trip and is a leading chance. DJ JUNIOR (7) finished a neck second of seven last time over 2000m at this track when resuming from a spell. Racing in fitter state has to be respected.
