Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 24)    

The Shepherd, Kitchakal and Giambattista will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Nelson Bay and Plaza Accord. DAWN TILL DUSK (3) is better than his last start run over 1600m at Greyville would suggest. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. He will be finishing strongly and he can notch up his third-career victory. KITCHAKAL (6) stayed on well when fourth over 1600m at Greyville last time. He has won twice, finished second once and third twice from nine starts on this course. Callan Murray is back in the saddle and the combination merit healthy respect. ROSH KEDESH (1) has recorded three of his four career wins over this distance. Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle and from pole position he should be competitive. QUEUE WING (2) comes into this on a back of a win at Greyville All Weather when sent out as the favourite. Jumping from an inside draw can go back-to-back.
