Faasel, OGEE and Elsahann are the trio to focus on here with Ogee the selection. Faasel is a classy type and he has been highly tried with little success of late. He has dropped to a decent mark, and there were some signs of a return to form over fences at Perth last time. He can go well at a nice price. Ogee has been in terrific form and can go well despite top weight. He has recently landed two lucrative prizes and despite going up the weights is the epitome of consistency and looks the one they all have to beat. Ferdy Murphy's Elzahaan is another in prolific winning form. He has never finished out of the first three and looks a danger to all. However, Ogee has a lot of class and is taken to provide a fine weight carrying performance and land this nice prize.
