WELAKA will be hard to beat based on form ratings and seems sure to be on the premises. Gun Party has a jockey up with an excellent record riding for this barn and appeals most of the rest. Real Men Violin is likely to be involved in the finish too.

Verdict
Third last time out at Oaklawn Park 21 days ago. Jockey booking here looks significant given results when this rider has ridden for the barn before. Little doubting credentials and chance is there for all to see.

One win from four outings. Took step forward when finishing 10½ lengths second in allowance at Fair Grounds on previous start. Not taking on such good-quality opponents as last time.
