ALL SYSTEMS GO (4) has the most reliable current form, winning at Fairview Aw last start as a well-supported favourite after being beaten only a neck by Mercantour the run prior. His record with Craig Zackey is a major asset and he has never missed a place in three starts at this distance, so he sets a solid standard. MERCANTOUR (5) is the obvious danger on overall profile, with 14 wins to his name and a proven 1400m record, though he has to rebound from a plain sixth behind All Systems Go last time. GUY GIBSON (3) keeps putting himself into the contest, including a half-length second to All Systems Go, and his 1400m record gives him genuine place appeal. MY BEST SHOT (6) was safely held first-up but returns to a much better set-up at this track and distance, where his record is outstanding, so sharper improvement second-up would put him right among the main players.
