Ochre Bay should take plenty of beating in this contest and he is preferred to Zennerman and Attacca. The selection was a fair second behind Wodhill Schnaps over this course and distance last time, and although he is not ideally drawn here, he had a high draw last time as well and he should go very close again. Zennerman has got some decent form on the turf but he has only had one run on the all-weather and that was a disappointing effort. Attacca won well last time but has a penalty to overcome today which may just find him out, and he is another that is possibly better on the turf. Cornus ran respectably last time and is not without hope, but there is plenty to like about Ochre Bay who looks a solid bet.
