Course and distance winner Harik, is game and genuine, but he looks to have no easy task off this mark. The lightly raced Antonio Mariano, handles this ground, will be fresher than most at this time of year and looks sure to give a good account. Faustino, has plenty of fast ground wins to his name, but hasn't won for nearly two years, while Sigma Run likes to be handy and could run into a place.
