Cape Hideaway has gone up 4lb for winning at Perth but is still fairly treated on the pick of his form and it would be no surprise if he completed the double as Canford Thompson has not been able to repeat his second to Beeno here in June in subsequent runs and refused to enter the stalls on the Flat last time. THINK AHEAD has had a mixed record here since winning his maiden in 2017 but shouldn’t be far away if in the mood. Mighty Whitey isn’t getting any younger but still looks best of the rest.
