DON'T LOOK BACK has won his last three starts for the St John Gray stable with ease, the latest of which was over this distance. The son of Judpot may still be ahead of the handicapper and should notch up his sixth career victory. CAPTAIN CHORUS has decent consistent form lines to his credit. He won his only attempt over this C&D. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces. BARAK finished 3 lengths behind the second choice last time. He is 0.5kgs better off at the weights today which may not be enough to turn the tables. However, he is having his peak run today and should give a good account of himself. TOP SHOT'S last two starts have been fair. It must be noted that the horse that finished third in his last start has come out and won again since. He should be cherry-ripe today and must be included in all bets.
