Australian sprint form is some of the strongest around and it's REDKIRK WARRIOR who gets the vote here after getting better of Merchant Navy when they last met at Flemington; he's expected to confirm that form off level weights this time around. Harry Angel isn't without a chance but he will have to be on his A-game here against his international rivals and it's a concern he's yet to win at Ascot. The Tin Man is worth a mention after his win in the race last year but he may struggle in what looks like a deeper contest this time around.
