Aragorn Icon won twice on Turf last summer and his subsequent runs have been mainly on Polytrack where he hasn't done so well. Jeangoeorges has a C&D victory to his credit but that was from a very lowly mark and Naked Cowboy is 7lb higher than for his success at Gowran in April. Captain May is improving and makes his handicap debut while Alpha And Omega was in decent form last summer, though he's still a maiden. Golan Heights is best on Polytrack so this can go to REFUSE TO SELL, who started last summer on a 12lb higher mark than here and has run well enough on his three latest starts to gain his fourth career success.
