Already a winner four times here this year, LAST PROMISE will likely be a hot favourite despite the outside stall. He had Dox Folly behind in February and Tim Glyshaw’s charge was subsequently third to Malio’s and Big Money Machine over the trip. Zitman was beaten almost three lengths by the selection when they last met but Yabba Dabba Dude and Ox Trot arrive in good form. The former has won two of his last three and the latter three of his last four.
