Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Till Dusk, Duke Of Camden and I Stole It to control the tempo.
CHICAGO KING (2) returned to the winners' stall over this track and trip last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Winning rider Apel sticks and again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim. Sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. ARTISTIC ENDEAVOUR (5) has a handy record over this course and distance with a win and a second from three attempts and will be rock-hard fit for this contest. Looms as the main danger. ARGENTUM ROCK (12) doesn't win out of turn but has hit the top-four in all eight starts this campaign and is usually about the money. In the mix. TILL DUSK (9) will be ready to peak now third run back and gets in light with the claim. Top-three credentials. DUKE OF CAMDEN (3) best of the rest out of the champion Gollan yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Chicago King.
