Many with chances in a big field but the value lies with class-dropper ROCKAROUNDTHECLOCK who was backed to win a stronger contest last time and races off an unchanged mark with the benefit of a 2.5kg apprentice claim. PEREGRINE FALCON and ROYAL HORIZON are consistent performers at this level with solid form credentials, so their chances have to be respected. PHALA MILLIONS, with shoes refitted, recent close-up 3rd HATHIGHWAYTOTHESKY, recent runner-up PRIZED PLATINUM, and class-dropper CAN YOU DANSE also have the means to make their presence felt. Several others have earning potential too.
