Begin The Luck hasn't won for 12 months in 10 subsequent runs. He has remained consistent, though, and usually gets beaten by those higher rated. He is still on the mark he last won off, and with two respectable seconds recently, he has a big chance.

Famoso is running off a slightly below-par 93 mark after a beaten last run in a 2m chase. He has placed here over course and distance but never won, showing some steady form with a 12% win and 24% place strike rate overall. Trainer Matt Sheppard is on form and Stan Sheppard rides. Both are very positive angles here. He tends to race mid-pack and should get a clean run in a fair-paced race. Conditions suit and he looks a solid each-way chance, needing a bit more to win but capable of staying on nicely today.

The 7-year-old mare is capable on her day. She was an 8-length handicap winner during May and wasn’t beaten far in two summer runs. Suited by this trip and fast ground. She will be fresh after a three-month break. Helped by a 7 lb claiming jockey now, and this front runner might just need to be pointed in the right direction in this low-grade contest.
