Moi Aussie's winning run was halted by the handicapper last time but it was still a decent effort. Stormbound is respected off top weight but SUITSUS looked to score with a little in hand at Brighton and is taken to follow up under Timmy Murphy, with whom he gets on well. Hot Mustard is on a fair mark but Aye Aye Skipper looks more dangerous on the back of a convincing success here recently and Georgia Cox's 5lb claim will prove valuable as he's been hiked 10lb for that win. Living Leader and Edge both need to improve but are not ruled out at their best.
