NELSON QUAY opened his account when stepped up to 1m2f on the Polytrack last time. Allowed to race off a 6lb lower mark back on Turf, Jeremy Gask's charge is worth sticking with. Litmus is not the most consistent but is another competing off a lower mark on this surface after placed efforts on the all-weather. Who's That Chick won over a mile here in September but is 6lb higher today and Anginola is another course winner to consider. It's hard to make a decent case for any of the remainder.
