NICHOLAS T belied his lack of experience on the level when giving Central Station a real scare here last time. He had previously made a winning debut on the Flat over course and distance and the combination of reverting to a mile and the receipt of weight all round makes him the one to beat. Jedd O'Keeffe could hardly have his string in better nick at present and his Dark Ocean has every chance off this mark if returning to his best after a three-month break, He requires a market check and Spring Offensive is another with decent claims at his best. Course and distance winners Le Chat D'Or and old favourite Dubai Dynamo are also worthy of consideration.
