A bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these events the market will prove the best guide but the principals look to be Cleopatras Therapy, Manners and King's Echo and we will take a chance on Manners, The gelding is from the Johnjo O'Neill yard and they have a good strike rate in this sphere and this gelding by Topanoora will not have to be anything special to win debut. Cleopatras Therapy rates the main danger has some solid looking form but she may struggle to give weight and a beating to the selection. King's Echo was a fair fourth behind Direct Flight last time and is another that could go well but this gelding by Rakaposhi King has given the impression he will be suited by further. Of the remainder Frosty Run is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with the well bred debutante Manners.
