The lightly raced (3) EXPUNGE is my top selection. Top effort 2 starts back at WFA when beaten by Roman Arch and Grey Song over 2400. The Lee Freedman trained (4) TOMMIFRANCS very hard to beat assuming he can handle the step up in distance. The lightly raced (8) SENTIRE next best from (12) GENEBEL and (1) DIAMOND JAKE. Also include (multiples) (9) SOUTHERN CROWN who has a great record this track and distance.

(2) SPORTSMAN has a good first-up record and from barrier 7 will race handy. (10) AMEX back in form goes very well this track. (6) MITANNI has to overcome a very wide draw but had no luck last start behind Amex and also loves this track. Can’t leave out (3) DEVIL despite a couple of poor recent runs. Excels this track and distance. And for value include (11) GRANDWAY SHOGUN who’s only win this track was 2nd-up as per today.
