Some old favourites here and it should pay to side with the in-form Nimello who should land this ahead of Turku, Wahj and My Retreat. The selection, once thought near group class, has won his last two races and comes here full of confidence. Not as good as he was when with Paul Cole, he should still be too classy for these. Wahj was another who was better in his younger days. He has been on a downward spiral for a while now but his latest effort was encouraging and he could trouble the selection. Turku seems best at this distance now and although not at the top of his game at present is capable of springing a surprise. My Retreat is a consistent sort who will run his race and take advantage if the above three fail to shine.
