Pick 6 Analysis Safety Check beat Eastern Rules in this last year and the latter ran well first time this season behind Ghaamer. Hanagan could have ridden the last named but chooses local debutant Zarwaan which looks significant. Soumillon chooses Anaerobio, winner of this in 2014 and another to con- sider in a very open renewal.
