Six of the last 10 winners have returned double-figure SPs. This is likely to be the usual cavalry charge, but despite the strong pace hinting at needing a runner who could get a bit further, none of the last six winners have ever won over a trip longer than this. That emphasis on speed should suit THUNDERING BLUE, who is well up to this level, has a good draw and will be suited by the return to this trip after finishing behind Dash Of Spice (well touted for this, and has claims) last time. Whats The Story could be a big danger, while Brorocco, Mordin and Krynen are three that cannot be ruled out.
