Unless the wind is playing havoc with riding plans by this stage of the day the speed map looks pretty clear here, ISORICH going forward with OXFORD TYCOON and HANDLE THE TRUTH in the box seat. HANDLE THE TRUTH is very reliable, likes the track and should kick through from the nice spot, assuming the bias isn't too much against him (could be well off rails by now). DRACHENFELS is the one to beat though swooping home out wide after a string of unlucky runs. He's going well! JACKS BAR right in the mix each-way. Most of the others have a knock-out chance.
