In depth

Verdict

Jim Bolger won this with Mac Swiney last year and Manu Et Corde is expected to improve considerably from his debut here where he started favourite. He only gave way close home though SHARK BAY went past him and Aidan O'Brien's Australia colt is another who will improve markedly for the experience. Barud has had both starts on this track on ground with plenty of give and come up against smart opposition. He'll improve as will Sen Ding, who didn't get going until too late over 6f here last month. The selection's stable companion Lorenzo Lotto is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner while there are plenty of newcomers to keep an eye on.
