Comments: Gold Coast 5-1 Unconquerable looks to have this at his mercy after a win and a 2nd in stronger company last time. Oakbank 7-1 Idalou has been a lot of fun for connections, winning 7 of his 14 starts. This is his first crack at a stakes race but it's only the equivalent of an Adelaide metro sprint so he should go well, especially with a lot of speed to sit behind.

Black Book: Ascot 6-9 Universal Ruler looks like a bit of a rising star. Each time he's stepped up in grade he's handled it and his win last time at Bunbury was terrific so it's hard to see them getting past him here. Randwick 9-9 Hairy didn't have much luck last time after drawing 17 of 18. She's drawn 9 of 12 here, which won't help and I expect her to be a good e/w chance given the toppie is flying.
