Trainer Dean Smith has a very strong hand in this race. CRUISE CONTROL impressed in his latest win on the Polytrack and can follow up over a course and distance that holds no fears for him. ASTRONOMICAL BOY quickened well when scoring over this course and distance last time out and jockey Craig Zackey gets the ride. ANUSCHKA'S WORLD has won his last start this course and distance and does not go down easily. FAIRY KNIGHT has not been at his very best of late but always remains a danger. MOUNT PILATUS should improve on his local debut and could surprise.
