Boom Boom Boom scored over 1m4f here last month and came from well off the pace to finish a close third over this trip three weeks ago. Jake Peter won this back in 2018, his only victory here in 13 starts, and has finished in the first four in eight of his last nine starts on the track. Dreal Deal's six-timer in 2020 and 2021 seems a long time ago but he looked on the way back to form when finishing strongly over 1m4f a couple of weeks ago. However, just in front of him came TURF RANGE, who also stayed on from the rear and he gets the nod to gain his fourth success on the track. Tronador ran his best race to date on the surface when a close third last time and he is guaranteed to stay the trip while Engagement Ring makes her handicap debut on a lowly mark though she's never been further than 1m4f. The Grade 1 hurdles winner Jeff Kidder would be interesting if getting a run from his reserve spot.
