BLACKLAZ (4) was in the betting when he resumed from a lengthy layoff at Alexandra Park but manners let him down. Showed ability in his maiden campaign, highlighted by an Addington win. Fitter and has the ability to take care of this field if he gets it right. CLAUDE (7) resumes after taking on stronger company in his last campaign. Yet to figure when fresh but does look nicely placed so expect him to pose a serious challenge. MIDFREW LUCRE (5) came from this barrier to score at Alexandra Park last month before a respectable third at his most recent appearance here. Going well and is right in this. KING TIDE (2) has been coming from wider or second line draws so can do better from a more favourable barrier.

Low draw over 2700m only increases chances of running a dividend bearing place.
