FULLY LOADED has maintained form and consistency off his current mark at a higher level so he will likely have a say on the outcome from gate No 1, despite conceding weight to all. CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD has gone from strength to strength recently since refitted with blinkers. He completed the hat-trick at this level last time with a workmanlike success over the same distance and, on the evidence of that performance, a 4-point hike may not be enough to end his winning streak. SUPER AWESOME and SEA SHANTY finished behind LAUGHING WILLIAM over this trip recently but are weighted to turn the tables.
