|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting Bottomuptogether to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. Time for the feature now. INVINCIBLE SAGE (2) lobs here first-up on the back of an impressive trial win on the All Weather most recently. The outside draw is perfect for the straight course here and his record over this track and trip is awesome. Can return to winning ways. WUNDERBAR (4) is the only horse to beat Ka Ying Rising - and he's done so twice so the talent is there. Beaten here at the end of last season, but he's trialled well coming into this and Bowman riding is a good push for his chances. Leading chance. MAGIC CONTROL (6) is another who is a better commodity back to this track and trip. His record here is very strong and he'll be better for the fresh run 24 days ago. Ho rides now and a return to form is on the cards. BEAUTY WAVES (1) gets Purton in the saddle now and beat Wunderbar here just three starts back. Boasts a strong second-up record and he's expected to be in the finish.
