A case can be made for most of these, though none appeal more than consistent GIMMEACHOICE who races off an unchanged mark in his peak outing after a course-and-distance 3rd.

ARUMUGAM and ARLINGTON ACTION are consistent hard-knockers with the means to get involved, while 3yo geldings REDLIGHTGREENLIGHT and WORLD ORDER are also likely to make their presence felt if improving over this trip after encouraging recent 1800m performances.
