Race preview
BENEFIT BEN made every yard of the running to win in a game manner over an extended 2m7f here a fortnight ago and could again be tough to overhaul. Okavango Delta is a dual C&D winner that also warrants close inspection, while the low-milage Mountain Molly could have a big say if replicating her Perth form at this venue. Kadjar Des Mottes is also dangerous to underestimate, despite failing to complete last time.
