DAIMYO produced a career-best performance when dominating from the front in a 2400m Listed race last time and even under a penalty could be hard to peg back if adopting similar tactics. ALADDIN'S LAMP (2nd) and ENFLAME (3rd) renew rivalry on better weight terms so should feature prominently. The former has to prove his stamina over this extended trip, whereas the latter is unbeaten over track and trip. POETS WARRIOR is a proven stayer with solid form credentials so should have a role to play under the conditions. Veteran NEBRAAS, well-weighted TEO TORRIATTE and KISSING MACHINE can also earn.
