CITY SELECTIONS BRUTE FORCE boasts a tremendous record at this venue and the Roger Teal-trained six-year-old gets the nod to record a second victory over C&D. The son of Paco Boy stayed on in determined fashion to get the better of Bayston Hill on his penultimate outing and he can repeat that feat. The latter must be respected, while Wendell’s Lass completes the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER A tightly-knit handicap in which BRUTE FORCE gets the nod given he has a very solid record round here and scored over C&D in June. Wendell’s Lass is much less exposed and not taken lightly on her first go over this trip, with handicap-debutant Timestamp another 3-y-o to consider.
