Verdict
All have claims but Enjoy Responsibly and Doubly Clever have their fair share of weight and Gold Mountain needs to prove he's retained his ability. Inaminna was below par last time but his general profile is solid enough and he's respected along with Un Beau Roman, now down to a more feasible mark. Ollie Vaar is very interesting as he's been desperately unlucky on two of his last three starts and now has a first run for Christian Williams. He's unexposed and the one to check in the market but this may be a day for TRIPLE CHIEF. A consistent performer this year, he handles this ground effectively and can benefit from receiving weight all round.
