A few chances! LASCARS (3) can be the pick of the James Cummings runners. Back to 1000m looks a big plus for him. He was okay at Caulfield in the Sapphire which probably just stretched him. The 1000m win prior stands up. Blinkers go on to ZOU SENSATION (9) who was no match in the Danehill but will find this much easier and the run prior stands out as a strong piece of form. Pattern was against SHALAMAN (2) last time but he had been terrific prior to that and can bounce back. Similarly, CROSSWINDS (1) can do better this time. Freshened after an even effort in a hot race at the start of the spring. KIN (17) and SELOUS (15) are other likely types in a race that runs deep.
