CALIFORNIA GOLD (1) uber-consistent. Course proven. Clear top pick in this. A MANDARIN (4) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 2147m at Riverton. Likely to be there at the finish again. CAN'T KACH ME (6) has won third up before. Include after a 4kg claim. ON THE RIVET (9) consistent of late. Course record is the one concern.
