Many with chances in a big field but it could pay to side with ZIP CODE whose last-start 2nd at this level under the same rider was encouraging. He earned a 2-point penalty for that effort but is drawn to do no work so should play another leading role. Unexposed CAMILLO CAVOUR is held by that rival on recent form but does have more scope for improvement so should acquit himself competitively. SHOREYBOMBA, BAY EMPIRE, BERRY LANCER and SEA SHANTY have the means to get into the picture too off their current marks. Well-bred COOL GAMBLER is bred to improve stepping up in trip so can pose a threat.
