ESSAKA is in flying form and has a solid chance of brushing aside his latest rise in the weights (especially as it's effectively cancelled out by his rider's 5lb claim). This C&D suits the selection well and he is a live candidate for top honours here.
Archimedes finished in front of the selction when they met met here last October, so must also merit consideration, while
Big Lachie and
Pink Flamingo are others with solid profiles at this course and are worth noting for support in the betting.
