BANGKOK PETE is the best option with Red Anchor and Aerospace likely to fight out the forecast slot. Brendan Powell's charge has handled good ground in the past and while he probably is better with a bit more give underfoot, he is anticipated to have too much class for these rivals. Red Anchor is a half-brother to Lady Beneficial. She showed form over similar trips. Aerospace has been big odds on all four starts though Nick Mitchell is not adverse to bringing his horses along slowly. Quelclasse has run well previously at this course though is exposed as ordinary. The remainder look to have plenty to do. Bangkok Pete deserves to be a short price in this field and should deliver.
