Verdict

Cayman Islands was second over a longer trip at Perth last time but still doesn't look a natural over the larger obstacles. Fences, however, should bring the best out of SET LIST, who is built for chasing - it's no surprise that he's being getting outpaced over hurdles. Rayak has won on the Flat since last appearing over jumps and will have had plenty of schooling while Battlecat is well handicapped on the pick of his hurdles form and wouldn't be far away if embracing the new challenge. Mr Mafia and Definite Future have experience and may be best of the rest.
