Trigger Park is the only one who has raced on soft ground but he never figured and has looked one paced in a couple of starts so far this year. Reflation has gone backwards since narrowly beaten here back in May while the remainder with experience have even less to recommend them. With little to beat, UNCLE RUFUS may well be good enough to make a winning start as he is a brother to a winner and a half-brother to three others including Listed winner Flash McGahon so gets the nod.
