A two-mile Flat test on the all-weather draws a mixed field of Flat and hurdles types, and the race may go to the most adaptable at the trip. Nelson Gate is an unknown quantity as a Flat stayer but looks relatively unexposed at the distance, and first-time blinkers should help him focus; his mark looks workable on course form and he gets the verdict. Balgowan ran to his level last time on the same official rating he carries today and is the chief danger, while Our Papa Smurf and Break Point also hold realistic claims. Nelson Gate is the selection.
