Verdict

THE ACCELATOR (5) made it back-to-back wins in dominant fashion at Katherine last time out, running away to win by 6.8L. He rates highly on the back of that effort and the rise to 1 ?m for the first time is no issue. He's a winner at this course previously and looks the one to beat in the cup. VEVINSKY (2) disappointed last time out in the Broome Cup but was trending the right way prior. Coming back to 1 ?m now is no issue and the Broome Cup form has already been franked. Can bounce back to his best and feature in the finish. ALOTTA DANE (3) dropped back to 1m last start at this track and trip last time out. Back out to 1 ?m now but that won't be an issue on his recent form. Won on the quick turnaround last start and can do the same again in this. MAGARTEN (4) wasn't beaten far last time out and can go one better. CAPITOL HILL (6) can recapture his best form and return to winning ways.
