Quite a few that can be considered in this but the last two starts by SMUGGLERS CREEK would surely have seen him win at least once if he had been given a more conservative/sensible ride, chasing or running up with an overly strong pace both times. Rockwood is well handicapped and once he gets a proper gallop to run at he’ll be dangerous of this mark. X Rated might find it hard to get from the front from his wide draw and Thorntoun Care will need to be smarter at the start as he’s also drawn wide. Zeshov is well drawn and keeps running well from a yard that have a good record here and although he’s not won for a while there is nothing wrong with his attitude.
