Expecting Just Feelin' Lucky to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. BANDI'S BOY (10) flying under the radar this prep and a win looks imminent. Closed fast when second to King Of Roseau in the G3 Aurie's Star Handicap over 1200m at Flemington. Gets map favours today and his best form is over this track and trip. Hard to stop. GENERAL SALUTE (5) returns from a let-up after charging late to run third in the G3 WJ Healy Stakes at Eagle Farm on June 28. Looked to have plenty up the sleeve when second in a 900m Rosehill trial. Only has to handle the conditions to figure prominently. ROMEO'S CHOICE (8) gone to a new level this campaign and chasing his fourth straight victory. Adept in all conditions and will take holding out. CORNICHE (6) strips fitter after attacking the line well on resumption when third over 1100m at Rosehill. Comes to hand quickly and meets a few of these better at the weights. WITH YOUR BLESSING (7) further improved second up with the good weight drop from the better gate. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bandi's Boy in a tough race.
