The three top weights look to have the best chances namely Mantas, Bobs Gone and Like A Lord with the vote going to Mantas. The French import has done all its winning in France but ran well in an amateur contest on his first run in this country. He ran third that day but has McCoy on board today and will give you a run for your money. Bobs Gone came back to winning ways at Perth last time out but he can be inconsistent so is treated with caution. Like A lord is having his first run of the season so will benefit from a run so for the winner we return to Mantas.
