A big field over 1500m, RAPIDO CHAPARRO expected to stride across to lead with ABOVE AND BEYOND pushing up too. A few will be kicking up the inside into nice positions, DESIGNATED (better back to dry), WORD FOR WORD (always an each-way chance) and DONANDKIM all mapping well. GRAND PIANO the horse with the best form-lines in the race, but he is drawn wide and hasn't won on dry yet. OXFORD TYCOON and MOANA JEWEL (prefers wet?) in the mix off nice Provincial Champs runs. SALSONIC, JETSKI and ABOVE AND BEYOND knock out chances. Even MANGIONE is worth a look at in the yard after being gelded too. [updated 9:12am]
