Joseph O'Brien has a good record in this race and may be able to add to it with OLIGOPOLY. He again showed plenty when beaten only by a pair of well-bred newcomers at Gowran last month and looks one to keep onside now switching to a nursery, especially with a handy claimer booked. Ocean Baroque and Poppadom are a couple of potential threats.
