Wahoo Sam is recommended ahead of Marko Jadeo and Primo Way. Connections are taking no chances by booking Neil Callan on the front runner and with Kevin Ryan's stable coming into form, he might be worth the risk at the odds. Marko Jadeo has the ideal draw to work from and is running consistently. He did not do a lot wrong when second to Writ on Saturday. Primo Way does not win often although Ian Semple did saddle a double at the track on Saturday. Bessemer reserves his best for this grade and may be capable of following up a recent victory. The London Gang rarely runs two races alike while Mister Elegant often flatters to deceive. Wahoo Sam should appreciate the drop in trip and with a decent rider booked, he rates the percentage call.
