Followthesteps (9/4), Zapper Cass (7/2), Venturous (4/1), Kupa River (5/1), Steelriver (7/1), The Groove (12/1), Aguerooo (14/1), Peachey Carnehan (14/1), The Establishment (18/1), Bellevarde (22/1), Spirit Of Wedza (50/1)

A really competitive race for the grade where all hold realistic claims. The addition of cheekpieces can help Followthesteps and he's still open to plenty of improvement following a close-up effort behind The Establishment. The latter seems ideally suited by this distance and is likely to return to form following two subsequent runs over different trips. ZAPPER CASS is flying at present and following a going away win over shorter here, can continue his run of form over arguably his best distance.
