TAURUS (9) has the clearest winning profile after a head second to Tony Oceans in C3C4 grade, and that followed a C4 win at this track where he was heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. His record at this track and distance is a major asset. DREAM JACK (10) has been third at his past two starts over 1800m in C3C4 company and drops to 54kg, with a proven record alongside Watanabe to support the case despite coming back to 1200m. JASON BAROWS (12) was doing his best work late when fourth, beaten a length and a half, and his one win and three places from nine starts at this track and distance keep him right in the contest. YOMPUKU (2) brings a sound track record and beat Jason Barows last week when third, though 1200m is new territory and that keeps him more in the place mix than as the top pick.
