Berry Lancer has won the last two after three thirds in a row. Zip Code won two runs ago and is the one most likely to stop the hat trick.

Little Boy Blue has won the last two for Tony Peter. Set To Music has done the same, though, and Willow Charm won last time too, so this is a big field full of form.
