GLOBAL DOMINATION (NAP) looks the one to be on here. Favourite when third over course and distance last month, he’ll strip fitter today and is the most reliable of this bunch. Kalaskadesemilley has a poor strike rate but was third over hurdles here last time and may do better over fences second time around. Cougar's Gold and Hurricane Rita could figure with Paddocks Lounge probably the pick of the remainder.
