Plenty at stake with eligibility for the $3m Big Dance on the line for the winner. OSMAN (1) is already eligible through his Mudgee Cup win and this is the most suitable race he's contested since. Clever claim for a capable apprentice and drawn to have every chance. FIORSUM FRED (8) is on the way up and will be fitter for a strong fresh win at Scone in Highway company last week. Up in grade but not to be underestimated. OAKFIELD PRINCE (4) just got the job done in his latest win and is usually thereabouts. No star but have to include. SMART SHOT (9) and RUSSIAN RONI (2) can be handy throughout.
