Angel Palanas finally opened his account after 18 attempts when scoring easily over 6f here. He should go well again despite the longer trip and penalty but BIG AMIGO is preferred. The latter was only caught close home over track and trip recently having won twice off higher marks here last year - it could be his turn again today. Swot also has a shout on his recent second at the track but Canadian Royal has something to find with the selection and Best Tamayuz is regularly placed here but rarely wins.
