It could be a trot and canter given the lack of pace engaged. CAPTAIN FENKEL (4) won well two-back over the 1900m at Canterbury. Jumped in grade and struck trouble in the straight with an unlucky fifth over 2000m at Rosehill. Must be included among the main hopes from the low draw. ANYTHINK GOES (1) tough old gelding holding his form. Will go back from the draw and be ridden for luck. Has solid claims in this easier contest. MO CHROI (6) had mixed luck this time in and should find this class more to his liking. Should be near his top now and not without each way prospects. VISUALISE (5) holding his form on the country tracks and can figure in the minor money with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Captain Fenkel.
