LOYALTY BANKER'S (8) sets the benchmark after a sound debut second at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Navarre Crown after starting near the top of betting. That effort also has a useful head-to-head edge over Mega Universe, and the track-and-distance placing gives him the clearest exposed profile. ANJOU CAVALIER (1) has not placed in two starts, but he comes through an Open fifth over 1400m, drops into a Restricted race and is fitter third-up for a leading stable. MEGA UNIVERSE (2) has finished fourth and fifth from two runs and is also third-up, with enough improvement in his latest margin to stay in the winning discussion despite needing to turn around the Loyalty Banker's line. ROYAL BAY (4) has been soundly beaten at both runs this campaign, yet the class drop and weight relief make him a place chance if he can produce a much sharper performance back around 1250m.
