Hard to believe that 11yo Divine Fortune, who won this in '10-'11 and was 3rd last year, is the key component of the 3-pronged Sheppard entry. All Together rarely misfires. Demonstrative is off form but has excelled over this course historically..

Fun matchup between Escapefromreality and Big Business who must avoid a duel. Beautyinthepulpit could scoop it up if the top pair spar spiritedly..
