Know Thyself is the likely leader and should be able to get there comfortably. GOD'S WINDOW (4) good wet tracker who stretches out to the 2000m for the first time this campaign. Kept up to the mark with a 1030m tick over trial. Placed in the LR Beauford last November. Expected to go close. ZAPHOD (6) has impressed in all three runs this time in and gets map favours for this. Loomed strongly when a narrow third in the LR Lord Mayor's Cup over this track and trip on a heavy surface. Races best with his runs spaced. Top-three contender. GOLDEN PATH (1) looks to get the right set-up for this and back in grade on his preferred surface. The early effort told late from the wide gate with a tiring fifth over 1800m at Eagle Farm in the G3 Lord Mayor's Cup. Respect. KNOW THYSELF (2) two runs back have been fair and will appreciate the sting out of the ground third-up. Untried over this journey and breeding suggests he can run the trip. Keep safe. TAVROS (11) in career best form and no shock to see him run into the placings. SUGGESTED PLAY: God's Window and Zaphod shape as the two leading prospects.
