Derby hopefuls do battle here and we have a slight leaning to SENJUTSU (4) for the in-form Bjorn Baker yard. Forgive the debut run on a very heavy track, he came away to win well over 1400m at Hawkesbury last time out in a genuinely run race. A rise in trip should be no issue off the late strength he showed there and the stable are very good at bringing horses to Flemington. OPTIONS (3) has won both starts to date, dominant out to 1600m at Bendigo on heavy ground. He'll relish 1800m and looks a genuine Derby hope. ENGINE OF WAR (1) is early favourite for the Derby off a strong win first up at Sandown Hillside, showing late strength over 1500m to score narrowly. He'll stay well and has to be respected. Wary of ARABIAN PRINCE (7) who debuted in a race over this route and ran well off a very slow speed. He can be improved. AUTUMN MYSTERY (2) is also in the mix and will stay.
