Automotive won here in June under today's pilot but was only sixth in this last year off a lower mark. Serena Brotherton rode the winner in 2012 and has a big chance again on Hamilton winner Raamz while Frosty Berry has been running well, though probably needs a bit further than this. Emman Bee has dropped to a fair mark and usually runs well here. She wouldn't be without a chance but Simon Walker's presence on board ALLERGIC REACTION sways opinion in his direction, especially with rain forecast.
