Cono Zur won last year's renewal off the same mark as today and should go well from the front while Majestic Dream is also back on a winning mark, though he's yet to score over today's trip. ALBAQAA went close in this grade at Newmarket last time under today's apprentice and finally looks set to end his long losing run. He gets the nod ahead of a few of these looking to make amends for recent disappointing efforts. They include Toga Tiger, Steel Stockholder and Silverware but Restaurateur should have come on for his reappearance and makes more appeal than plating race winners Prime Exhibit and Classic Colori.
