DREADNOUGHT got going too late when narrowly beaten over 1600m so won't need to improve much to go one better over this extended trip. Filly GIDDY UP GRACE has finished second in consecutive starts over 1600m so should have a role to play if equally effective over the extra 200m. COMIC ARTIST and GUS ON THE BUS have the form and experience to make their presence felt too, while LANCE ATTACK need only confirm the improvement of his last start to play a role in the outcome.
