RIBCRACKER (5) has a tricky barrier to overcome but is in the country's premier stable and should be ready to fire after three runs in what have been stronger races than he finds himself in here. DHANUSH (2) has been a model of consistency but has made a habit of finding one or two better and that might again be the case from a wide alley. Does have the benefit of a 2100m run under his belt though. BUDJIK BOY (1) has been hard to knock at three runs this time and importantly draws better than some of the others leading fancies. DON'T DOUBT TIGGA (13) was good first-up when specked at double-figure odds and will have derived great benefit from that, which was at 1600m. MICK DUNDEEL (3) has been a costly conveyance but certainly has the talent to be a factor and is well-drawn.
