This national top graded event has pulled several aspirants from southern centres and they will put their best foot forward, so to speak. Several local contenders have been cautiously and hopefully tuned up for the eagerly awaited occasion. However, none of them can boast to have an upper hand.

Amber Royal has exhibited his potential in his last victory and has clearly indicated his intentions. Executive Force was withdrawn last time but was highly rated by his admirers. Final Authority has proven often that company and distance is no bar. Saddle Up has shown unbelievable improvements with every outing. Among the fillies, Adam's Treasure has surprised everyone of her undying stamina and speed. All these runners will have bold show particularly at the crucial stage.

Taking into account all the relevantfactors it appears that Amber Royal may have the last laugh.
