THE MAP (12) looks the one to beat. Narrowly denied in the Adelaide Cup as favourite two starts back, she raced away off a slow tempo to win last start at Morphettville and should only be fitter for that. Loses nothing with D Lane taking the ride from an inside gate. EXCELLERATION (3) just edged The Map out in the Adelaide Cup but hasn't run since. He has trialled well over 1400m and looks a solid value hope. LIONEL (9) worked home well at Mornington at his Australian debut and will relish the 2800m here. He's a listed winner in the UK who will take some beating. STRAWBERRY ROCK (5) continues to race well and should be thereabouts, similar story MOSTLY CLOUDY (6) who comes back from the Sydney Cup.
