J: K De Melo
T: S G Tarry
Well beaten in the Gold Challenge when behind a number of the horses he faces here at Greyville four months ago; course regular who has won four times here and won the Grade 1 Chestnut Stakes in March; this might be easier; he has defied a similar absence before and should give it a bold bid.

Verdict

TALK TO THE MASTER gets a firm vote. He is a leading player bidding to get back to winning ways. This draw is a concern for Tin Pan Alley while Sunset Riot looks a decent option, and I'm A Fireball has to rate a danger given his excellent course record.
