Time for the Placid Ark and WIND AND THE LION (7) lands on top following an eye-catching run in the Prelude a fortnight ago. He looks as though he's screaming for this trip now and he should settle much closer this time around. He was the run of the race first-up and with improvement likely, he can get the job done. HORCRUX (6) looks a nice chance at odds after peaking on the run late in the Fairetha a week ago. He set up a good gallop there and will be at peak fitness third-up. Should be prominent in the run and take plenty of catching over the closing stages. REPOSSESSION (4) stole the prelude from the front when winning by 0.9L and this looks to set up similarly for him. He's still improving and he'll prove very tough to run down from the front. CHARINO (5) beat a lot of these in the Max Simmonds 35 days ago. Big price there, but ran a good figure and he's worth including. MADHI GIRL (9) bounced back in the Prelude last start and is worth including.
