WINTER WAVES seemed to be stuck on a rating of 74 but didn't run badly and then suddenly showed an amazing turn of foot to win when dropped in distance last time. He is also effective over this longer trip and could follow up but will need a good pace. MADISON BLUES is the dark horse trying 1400m on the poly. He needs to be watched having been given a decent starting stall. FAMOUS AND RICH loves the poly and should appreciate the distance but has to overcome the widest gate. PREEMPTIVE STRIKE and BRASS BELL should be right there on current form.
