In depth

Verdict

Dicosimo has generally been disappointing though did run quite well behind Champagne Harmony at Killarney. Potters Point tackles this trip for the first time over fences and looks certain to be suited so he should go well while VELOCITY BOY would be an obvious threat to all if managing a clear round as he will love the ground and trip. In the hope he can stay on his feet he's handed the vote as Bentelimar hasn't done quite as well as expected over fences but there's still time to improve and he can go well if getting round safely. Aspen Colorado is interesting on his chasing debut with his allowance.
