Bank On Him, Acorazado and Easter Ogil look to be the principles in this competitive finale and we will take a chance on Easter Ogil. The selection has been knocking on the door for some time now and was a decent second behind the Sir Mark Prescott hot-pot Fall In Line last time out. He is dropped to his optimum trip here and although he is steadily rising in the weights he may just be capable of scoring. Bank On Him looks the main danger as he won in a quick time on this track when defeating My Maite in a handicap last month. All his previous wins have been in sellers, but he will not be inconvenienced by the drop in trip here and should go well. Acorazado would have chances on his best form but he has never been tried at this trip before and his best form has been in sprints. Of the rest, Burgundy is a capable old campaigner and three of his five career wins have come on this track so he has to be respected, while Inistrahull Island looks to have decent place prospects if he takes well to the step up in trip, but in an open race, we will give the nomination to the game and consistent Easter Ogil.
