DRIVELIKEAMASTER wouldn't be winning out of turn after back-to-back course-and-distance seconds. However, he could find one better again as FATHER CHRISTMAS is 4kg better off for a 1.25-length deficit. Class-dropper PHIL THE FLUTER, versatile COPPER CLIFF, consistent GUERILLA WARFARE and hard-knocker SUTHERLAND are competitive off their current marks and capable of having a say in the outcome. Returning GREENLIGHT RACER is unexposed and open to improvement after a lengthy absence so is best kept safe.
