The favourites in the market have drawn wide but then it's a 2000m race and there is always a made charge for the first turn and then a long straight down the back where they can sort themselves out so we are not worried about this.

Helios Express  is going for the 4yo's hat trick, a feat rarely accomplished.  He had a slight set back recently where he lost a day of training by John Size isn't worried by all accounts, neither is Hugh Bowman and neither is the market as he's on 13/8 in the UK markets.  Galaxy Patch has also been a stand-out in this series and comes in on 5/1 for Pierre Ng and Blake Shinn, who rode the Golden Slipper winner back in Sydney on Saturday.

We also like the other Size runner Ensued who will be ridden by Ryan Moore and is on 7/1 and Chancheng Glory has been progressing well through the grades and if not today it won't be long.  He's on 8/1.

There will also be much interest in Victor The Winner  running in Japan today.
