Track: Good Weather: Fine

Open race. Mumbai Muse gets the gun run from the draw and will be hard to hold out. General Salute is heading in the right direction but does map a little tricky. Keenan can land in front and prove tough to mow down while Le Parrain goes in the mix off a strong debut win.

1, Barber (1)   – SCRATCHED

2. General Salute (8)

Racing well and looks the one to beat. No luck last start and just needs to overcome the wide draw to take beating.

3. Armed Forces (10)

Been around the mark all prep.

4. Love Shuck (6)

Prefer others.

5. Balkans (7)

Well backed in early markets. Maps for a good run and goes in the mix.

6. Keenan (3)

Good last start win. Has the right running pattern to give this a shake but is on the short side.

7. Le Parrain (9)

Racing well. Big leap in grade and sticky draw but racing well. Hard to beat.

8. Midnight Opal (5)

Good maiden win and last start effort. Harder here but gets the right race to back it up. Big hope.

9. Fire Lane (2)

Racing well. Maps for a dream run and should prove hard to beat.

10. Mumbai Muse (4)

Maps for a gun run from barrier 4. Has nice form on the board and is well placed.

11. Ballroom Bella (11)

Trending the right way. Goes in the mix despite the wide draw.
