Togoville gained his 14th track victory last week with a comfortable success though an 8lb rise makes this tougher. Wonder Elzaam gained his only victory to date over the track and trip in December and will have found 6f too sharp last time when he dead-heated with FASTMAN. The latter was having his first start for John McConnell after arriving from the UK where he won twice for David O'Meara and Siobhan Rutledge can steer him home. Major Power is very consistent and was in top form at this time a year ago so looks a threat to all while Leadership Race has gained both victories over this course and distance. Prisoner's Dilemma led over 1f out and battled on gamely to score here in December and isn't out of this.
