Tap Night (7/2), Dingo Bay (7/2), Nakadam (4/1), Harleys Max (9/2), Lowanbehold (5/1), Danehills Well (11/2), Asuncion (9/1), The Orange Rogue (11/1)

There’s no doubt that Tap Night is well handicapped but can he be relied on to give his best off a mark that is 9lb below his last winning one. Based on his recent form that remains a doubt even fitted with a visor for the first time although he did wear cheekpieces for his last win and has to be respected at this level. Like Tap Night plenty of others have questions to answer in this with Nakadam, The Orange Rogue and Lowandbehold all having something to prove after their latest starts. Asuncion found the shorter trip against her last time out and needs a strongly run race to be seen at her best. This may be best left to HARLEYS MAX who is no world beater but rarely runs a bad race at this level and has a rather more solid profile at this level than many here. 1. Harleys Max 2. Tap Night 3. Nakadam
