SUPREMELY WEST has had possible excuses for a couple of his defeats since his promising third to Ma Shantou and the reopposing Electric Mason here in October (strong form) and is well treated if recapturing that level. Kikijo looks to have been kept fresh for this since winning twice at the end of 2025 and is second choice. Champagne Chic, C'est Different, Bold Endeavour, Absolutely Doyen and Emmet Mullins pair Melbourne Shamrock and Minella Emperor are others with plenty to recommend them.
