A wide-open qualifier where early speed and mapping at the 2138 trip looks messy. SOHO CASABLANCA (9) was trying to work into the contest but could not get warm here last week as ARRIVE swept home. Chasing in vain behind FATE AWAITS the start prior, he strikes the right field to capitalise.

GREAT WHITE (8) was chasing home on the back of ARRIVE here last week when just missing the minor money, finishing under 4m from the winner. Darting through to grab the W the start prior from this same gate, if he can spot the gaps in time, he looms as a challenger.

JEKAMIAS (2) was trying to grip on in the Marburg Goldstrike two starts back when beaten a half-nec behind MARTIN MAGIC. Beaten by gate 7 last week despite being under 2m from the winner MIKIS JOE, he is right in the fight.

AQUA SANCTA (6) was taken back from gate 6 last time out at Redcliffe and made good metres int eh closing stages chasing home DOCTA FEELGOOD. Forget his Marburg run the start prior, he can be running on late.

SELECTIONS: SOHO CASABLANCA (9), GREAT WHITE (8), JEKAMIAS (2), AQUA SANCTA (6)
SUGGESTED BET: SOHO CASABLANCA (9) to win
