This looks a match between Magnetic Pole and Flamboyant Lad with the confident vote going to Magnetic Pole. The selection was a fair second behind Exclusive Danielle last time and although he did not look keen to go past on that occasion the drop in trip will suit and he is given one last chance to get his head in front. Flamboyant Lad rates the main danger on his latest second behind One So Marvellous as the first two where well clear of the third, but he is very one paced at the end of his races and for that reason he is opposed. Jidiya can be the only other run with a serious chance after his latest third in a handicap behind Milk And Sultana and that form has since been franked but he is more exposed than the selection and for that reason he is overlooked on this occasion. The reminder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Magnetic Pole.
