ATTAIN arrives fresh from last week’s course and distance success. He’s penalised 6lb but beat better horses than these a shade comfortably and can go in again. Kay Sera has won twice on the all-weather and can race off a lower mark on this surface. He’s preferred to Eben Dubai, who was well beaten over a longer trip here recently. Berkeley Vale, Saint Helena and Henryhudsonbridge are all winners over shorter distances with something to prove over today’s trip.
