There could be a fascinating duel for the lead in the early stages as So Influential, Mick The Jiver and Betterthanalright contest the lead here. The pace in the conditions could be an advantage to those coming late with BALLINABEARNA taken to build on his win here last month under jockey Phillip Enright. The gelding has to overcome a 12lb hike in the weights but is in solid form right now. Thereisnodoubt and Nerual can give the selection the most to think about.
