Gr 1 – Might and Power Stakes

This looks a delicious race for the champ Mr Brightside. Ric Chapman looks at all runners to see if that's correct.

1. Mr Brightside (1)

Best Bet
J: Craig Williams T: Team Hayes

Drawn the fence, is in career-best form and there is NO Pride Of Jenni to chase. Looks a good thing.

2. Vow And Declare (5)

Best Value
J: Billy Egan T: Danny O'brien

Terrific old-timer. Melbourne Cup winner and is aiming up again for another shot at the big race. Is racing well enough to run a place in this too.

3. Kalapour (4)

J: Damian Lane T: Kris Lees

Good long-distance stayer who may find this a bit slick. Was beaten nearly 10 lengths in fast 2000m Kingston Town behind Eliyass and Ceowulf last start. Place at best.

4. Adelaide River (3)

J: Ben Melham T: Kris Lees

Irish stayer who is yet to win in 4 Aussie starts. Is being prepared for the Melbourne Cup so this should prove a little short for him.

5. Atishu (8)

J: James Mcdonald T: Chris Waller

Looks the only one capable of causing an upset because she is getting very close to a win. Last week came home hard for 6th to Via Sistina in the Gr 1 Turnbull. Quick back-up suits and looks a threat as she can finish hard.

6. Deny Knowledge (6)

J: Mark Zahra T: Team Freedman

Needs to finish in the first 4 in order to break the million dollars mark in prizemoney. Looks the likely leader. Led all way to win Grafton Cup over 2350 last prep then honest 5th when resuming behind Buckaroo. Definite place chance.

7. Jennilala (7)

J: Declan Bates T: Ciaron Maher

Owned and trained in the same interest as the great Pride Of Jenni but is not as talented. Did run 2nd here this trip beating Deny Knowledge home last prep but this looks too rich.

8. Coco Sun (2)

J: Blake Shinn T: Team McEvoy

Interesting runner. She is extremely good when right and is 3rd up here so should be ready. Made impressive ground late when beaten 5 lengths by Buckaroo in the Gr 1 Underwood last start. Should be about 4th throughout and if she sprints hard late is a show. Did win the gr 1 SA Derby running like that.
