Solo Saxophone (7/4), Squire's Tale (7/2), Sing Like The Sea (4/1), Constancio (7/1), Fort Denison (8/1), High Tide (16/1), Military Poet (20/1), Brazos (33/1), Verse Of Love (33/1), Bid Adieu (50/1), De Mazzaro (50/1), The Frozen Well (66/1)

The market will be informative given the in-form Dermot Weld saddles both Solo Saxophone and the well-bred newcomer Military Poet. The former appears first choice, and needs respect with a visor fitted on the back of a promising debut, but marginal preference is for St Leger entry SQUIRE'S TALE, who stepped up markedly at Ballinrobe, and will progress again. Sing Like The Sea has solid form claims if handling the conditions, with Fort Denison not dismissed given how he's progressing with racing.
