Frankie Lor will try to scupper Champion's Way's winning streak with his own talented prospect Right Choice (122lb). The four-year-old is also seeking a sixth win, having won five from seven this term, but will need to bounce back from a well-held third behind Ka Ying Star at the course and distance last start.

Umberto Rispoli was in the plate for the first time that day and has faith in the Mastercraftsman gelding's ability.

“He's a very consistent horse, he's gone up in class race by race, he's a very tough horse and he's honest. It's always tough competition in Class 2 at a mile but the horse is fit and well so with a good draw (2) he will run a good race,” he said.

“I have a lot of respect for Champion's Way because he showed that he's a very good horse and he's going to be the favourite in the race. They are two horses who have improved a lot. I reckon it's going to be a very nice race to watch. The best horse will win the race and I think every horse in the race has a chance, it's all about the position they are going to be in after 200 metres.”
