#6 Packing Hermod is hard to tip against. He’s been a standout four-year-old this season and since the blinkers went on two starts ago, he’s gone back-to-back in style. This is another test up in grade, but he’s ready to take the step. #1 Beauty Eternal can bounce back as he returns to 1400m. Four runs ago he closed off well for fourth behind Ka Ying Rising over this trip, and last start he returned to the placings at this level. #5 Patch Of Theta looks suited rising to 1400m following his strong-closing third behind Helios Express over 1200m. #3 Invincible Sage is a query at the distance, though his narrow defeat to Helios Express last time reads well and gives him a chance.
