The early favourite is GENTLE BREEZE who posted his first career win over this course and distance at his last outing and there was quite a bit to like about the effort. The most pleasing factor was that at times he seemed unbalanced but he was strong through the line (11.49 sixth-best final-200m at meeting) and he appears to have more upside. In winning race 175 he beat Special Stars (fifth) and Multimax (sixth) who have both came out and won since. TELECOM BROTHERS is another on-pace runner who basically led all the way at his last start to score his first career win. He too has some upside. I expect MONEY BOY to be ridden with some degree of patience with Moreira and he might rally late in to a minor spot, while STAR OF JOY is holding his form well and with the right run can go close. However, GENTLE BREEZE is the clear pick of this field.
