From wide out West Cork can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. YEAH COPY (7) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-five in eight of his past nine starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Has placed two from two over this course and distance and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be featuring in the finish. The well-related WEST CORK (14) (half to G1 winner Qafila) has only missed a drum once in five starts over this track and trip and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Right in this contest. SIR MEMPHIS (5) broke the maiden status last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Gets 2kg off and can go right on with the job now. BRAVE HORATIUS (9) is drawn to get a gun run from the inside alley and shouldn't be discounted lightly. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 7,14,5.
