Plenty of pressure with One Man Show, Akashvani and Jumbo Treasure leading the charge. SUPER INFINITY (4) hasn't been far away his past couple and comes into this off a 35-day freshen. He didn't have the best of luck at his last start and now Purton hops in the saddle from an inside barrier. Should get his chance and can return to the winners list. JUSTIFYING (12) was horrible last start down the straight course and was sent back to the trials by Stewards. He was solid there and now rises up to 1200m for the first time under Bentley. Hasn't been as blistering as we saw him on debut, but he's worth forgiving as we know what he's capable of. JUMBO TREASURE (13) looked good in a recent trial on the All Weather surface and he was a dominant winner the last time he raced at this track and distance. He has the speed to come across from out wide and if he's at his best, he'll be very hard to fun down. CELESTIAL HERO (2) trialled better than the first-up run suggested and now gets the winkers on. Looks set for a much-improved effort.
