COSMIC CRUSADER (10) is in top form, most recently recording a win by a head over 1m1f in the G1 Northerly Stakes at this track to make it two in succession. Top strike rate at the journey with three wins and two placings from five starts and looks a top chance. OVERPASS (1) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing a nose away in second over 6f in the G1 Winterbottom Stakes at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. JOKERS GRIN (3) finished 1. 75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Has a very good record here with six wins from nine starts. Capable of a big run. REY MAGNERIO (9) turned in a solid run last time when boxing on to finish third in the G1 Winterbottom Stakes at this track. Likely to relish the extra ground and rates among the each way chances.
