A ripping field has assembled here where Americain is a warm favourite and looks very hard to beat. He was beaten however in the Australian Cup by Manighar who will be hoping to repeat the dose.
Race favourite Americain is expected to go back from the wide barrier and sit third or fourth last one off the fence. Fiumicino is likely to go forward and lead the field into the turn, whilst Caulfield Cup winner Southern Speed will get the run of the race.
