Hard to rule out any of the sextet here but NICKAJACK CAVE was impressive in sweeping through the field to win in Listed company over 1m6f here in June; an effort well-advertised since by the runner-up scoring successive wins at Group-race level. Ger Lyons' excellent summer can continue with victory here; though Rakan, Pondus and the three-year-old Mythical can give him concerns.
