SOLIDASAROCK (11) has the clearest recent claim after finishing second at this track, beaten half a length by Mr Happy, and he now gets genuine weight relief from the 59kg he carried there. His record of one win and three places from five starts at this track and distance gives the profile real substance. ROBERTIAN (6) was beaten two and a half lengths by Moshimoshi as odds-on favourite last time, but he has won at this track and distance and the stable-jockey profile remains a strong positive. NORTHERN STAR (8) comes off a solid third at this venue, beaten just under two lengths, and his broader record shows seven wins with reliable turf form, even if the 1400m win remains elusive. KIM EMPIRE (4) was only fair when fifth last start, yet his third to Majestic Way two back, barrier 1 and the 2kg claim keep him firmly in the winning mix.
