Cusack (11/4), Mercurius Power (5/1), Urban Road (11/2), Once Adaay (6/1), Admiral Nelson (13/2), Sycamore (11/1), Aim For The Moon (11/1), Tio Mio (16/1), Reel Prospect (20/1), Glencalvie (28/1), Thunder Max (28/1), Covert Legend (66/1)
Having been relatively lightly raced in the last year or so, SYCAMORE bounced back to form when scoring over C&D just over 2 weeks ago and, on the back of a small rise in the weights, Scott Dixon's 7-y-o is taken to follow up at the expense of Cusack, who is more consistent than most at this level. Aim For The Moon and Tio Mio are another couple fancied to go well, also.
