NOSTALGIA'S SMILE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds another suitable race and can do it again. J J VALENTIN (1) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing 10 lengths back in sixth. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. OMEY ISLAND (7) was well in commission last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 18 lengths. Worth another chance. MY BOY ROCKY (8) turned in another moderate effort last start when 12 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1710m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest. Something for the Multiples: GUNNERY SERGEANT (6)
