1. Numerian (9)
Should appreciate the drop in class and has this field covered in terms of form. Hard to beat with even luck from the draw.
2. Dark Destroyer (7)
Yet to show much in 2 runs back but has plenty of class. Keep an eye on the market.

Classy runner that was good last start. Should give this a shake.

Will be hitting the line hard and just needs a tow into the race at the right time to prove hard to hold out.

Should enjoy the rise in trip and land into an okay spot from the draw. Solid claims against this lot.

Hard to catch but more than capable and is up to these. Will just need a pinch to go right from the barrier. Keep an eye on market moves.
