MULAN ARDECHE (2) has produced good wins this distance range in two of last three including here 3 back when handy outer and way too good. McNab back on for this & hard to beat. BRIGHT THOUGHTS (4) put the writing on the wall with a game 3rd here two back & broke his maiden in a tight finish here last start, both at this trip. Tougher up in grade but respect. KEEPER'S HEART (3) ran 5th in the Irish Derby in June 2024. Both starts since have been here & he made a looping run from the rear to level up turn but didn't finish off last time. Allow another chance. ABOVE THE CLOUDS (1) faded out over 2200m at Ellerslie last time but was very good this trk/trip both runs prior. Can bounce back into form. TARZADOR (7) dropped out from on the pace behind Mulan Ardeche here 2 back but led all the was in slower race last time. Has place claims.
