My Target (11/4), Chevallier (9/2), Third Time Lucky (5/1), Sea of Flames (5/1), Bunbury (8/1), Alfred Hutchinson (11/1), Loyalty (14/1), Lunar Deity (14/1), Franco's Secret (16/1), Mutarakez (33/1), Mansfield (50/1)

A competitive handicap that sees My Target aiming for another win over C&D but the mark is creeping up and he faces some capable sorts in this contest. Chevallier is another who is progressing rapidly and he bids for a hat-trick over a C&D that he enjoys. Third Time Lucky is a sound yardstick in this grade and a switch to more positive tactics look to have suited of late. Alfred Hutchinson tends to always run a sound race here but the vote goes to another improver in BUNBURY. He’s lightly-raced on the AW and takes a rise in grade but looks to have a race in him off this mark.
