This will be the first time that BREANSKI has met with his elders but he looks to have a cracking attitude and the slight ease in grade may well allow him to get back on the winning trail. Plenty of the opposition have question marks against them although Gun Case looks to be getting his act together and could be a danger off this sort of mark. Remember Rocky has to prove that he can cope with a mark over 60 carrying a penalty for his recent win here while a couple like Crazy Tornado and Abushamah have the ability to win a race of this nature but do need everything to drop right for them while Chinese Spirit may well be worth a second look in the market.
