Best-weighted UNITED COUNCIL, course-and-distance specialist BREEZE OVER and veteran NEBRAAS are experienced performers with solid credentials at this level. MO MENT continues to defy the handicapper but this demands another career-best effort to complete the hat,-trick. Prior to his recent back-to-back wins, he was beaten by re-opposing ENFLAME on similar weight terms. The lightly raced latter is a maturing stayer with low mileage so it should pay to follow his progress, especially over this extended trip after a pleasing 1800m comeback. DAIMYO and TWENTY DRACHMA'S appeal at longer odds.
