Bazroy can land the prize here at the expense of Yungaburra and Mogok Ruby. The selection hinted that his turn would not be far away last time when he chased home Halsion Chancer at Lingfield. The drop back to this trip should suit and he looks to have strong claims. Yungaburra chased home Northern Empire over the minimum trip here last time and on that evidence he should be seen to better effect over this extra furlong. Mogok Ruby won well here last time and there may be more to come, although it is worth noting that he did get the run of the race that day. Bo McGinty will probably need this outing after being off the track since October, and a better bet looks to be Bazroy who should prove tough to beat.
