Michael Dodds has his string in good order and sends Smith N Allan Oils out in search of a quick hat trick. However, he is not going to find things easy carrying 6lb extra and for his course and distance success last time, where Night Runner was just a neck away in second. The Tim Easterby-trained colt should strip fitter now that he has got a couple of runs under his belt and is weighted to exact his revenge. His high draw would be a concern though if there were significant rain as the field usually tack across to the far side on soft ground. Cherished Number has been well placed by his handler of late and the step back in trip should not be a problem although his chances would increase considerably in the event of any rain. Getadream and Super Dolphin should also not be underestimated.
