A very competitive race in prospect, and the unexposed SMOKING GUN is the suggestion. Joseph O'Brien's six-year-old arrives in cracking form and looks to have been allotted a very fair mark for this handicap debut. Stablemate West Coast Time is well worth considering, while Buckie Cullen and last year's third Peace N' Milan should both be thereabouts. Cases can be made for plenty of others, including Best Behaviour, Brave Out, Dawn Raider, Rovetta, Robin On The Hill and Shar Whats Therush, in a wide open contest.
- Smoking Gun
- Buckie Cullen
