The Fahey yard has picked up two of the four previous renewals and is mob handed this year. Paul Hanagan rides Farlow but Personal Touch will appreciate the soft going. Quite a few of the leading contenders have a high draw so that may be the side to concentrate on. HADAJ scored at Beverley last time and is taken to reverse earlier running with Ashpan Sam, who is drawn near the inside rail today. Best Trip could also turn the tables on the latter while the in-form Bop It, Rusty Rocket and Kimberella are others to consider. It remains to be seen if Bondi Beach Boy and Circuitous remain as effective in soft ground while Shady McCoy, Mutafaakir and Tidal's Baby could go well from the low numbers. Algar Lad is also engaged in the 2.20 here today.
