The Ellmarie Holden-trained MY DIRECTION can land the opener here. The eight-year-old is three from nine on the AW completing a double here around this time of year 12-months ago off marks of 86 and 89. The Marjorie Fife-trained English-raider, Red Charmer commands respect here following a win at Musselburgh earlier this month while Reckless Lad and Georgian Bay are capable of hitting the frame.
