SELECTIONS: ENJOY LIFE (9), SEASIDE BOY (4), DECODE (2), MOST EXCITING (8)
OVERVIEW: ENJOY LIFE (9) is a high-quality 3yo who comes through the A-grade form lines, including the Derby last start, where he travelled keenly behind the leader, who fell back into his lap, costing him all momentum before finishing not far away in 6th. His form prior was first-rate, albeit from better draws where he was able to dictate. He won't have that luxury now but can deliver a high-speed finish to overcome them.
SEASIDE BOY (4) gets a better draw and actually beat home the top pick in the Derby, where he had to go back and worked home well. From this more favourable marble, expect a more aggressive drive, and he could prove hard to run down, particularly if he finds the lead. DECODE (2) will have something to say about the speed map and has been terrific this season. He's unfortunate not to have a better record, having faced some bad draws in major races. He was okay in the Derby, but with the others outperforming him there, that dampens confidence slightly. MOST EXCITING (8) has mixed his form a little this season, but more often that's been because of taking on the elite 3yos. He can only be driven for luck from this draw but will be strong late if the gaps come. There's not a runner who would surprise at the minor end for exotics.
