MEYDAAN (1) had no luck in the Melbourne Cup in his penultimate start, but showed us his true ability as a last-start winner 3 weeks ago, when scoring by 2 lengths over 2810m at this track. He can repeat the dose here. WEST WIND BLOWS (5) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 2500m in Listed grade at Deauville All Weather. He has never missed the frame when third-up from a break, so he is a threat to the top pick. NIGHTWALKER (8) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. He did a good job last start to finish third over 2810m at this track behind the top pick. Stick with him for all top 4 combos. EPIC POET (2) is a seven-year-old import having his first run for the Michelle Waller stable. He finished in the placings over 2715m in the G3 Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury at his last run before a spell. Let the market guide you fresh up.
