HELLO HUMPFREY defied a 10lb hike in the weights to complete a quick double last month where ha came with a powerful late burst to snatch the spoils. He's up another 7lb here but the slightly longer trip and his rider's claim will help and he can complete a hat-trick. Carried has found his form and was unfortunate to be mugged on the line by Juara last week with Revolution well beaten. He could have done without a 5lb rise but must be a threat along with Cottesloe. Charles O'Brien's charge gained his only success so far over the course and distance a year ago and hasn't had much racing subsequently so his latest run behind Shake The Bucket points to his chances.
