The veteran ALVARADO showed he retains plenty of ability when finishing third on his seasonal debut and he can take this competitive staying handicap chase off the same mark today. The selection represents a stable with a 20% strike-rate (4/20) in recent weeks and he is taken to notch a sixth career success at the chief expense of bottom weight Mister Don who had been in good form prior to disappointing last time. Royale Knight stays this trip well and can return to form by claiming third today.
