JOSEPH STEEL (5) Nice run when 2nd last time at the track and carrying less weight this time. Showing great form this campaign. Genuine threat. DOCHAS ARD (4) Nice effort when winning last start at this venue and drawn well. Getting better in recent performances. Coming back in trip. Key player. THAT'S FOR SURE (6) Brave effort to win narrowly last start at this venue and drawn nicely. Has a nice turn of foot. Antonino Cannella has a high strike rate on board. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat. RIBSECRET (1) Placed 2nd last run at the track and proven performer at this distance. Has to cope with a weight increase. One of the hopes.

Competitive effort when 2nd last run around here and strong performer at this distance. Bit of extra work to do with more weight. Watch the betting.

Won narrowly last start at the track and has a good draw. Antonino Cannella is very comfortable aboard and will benefit with the weight drop. Shows good closing speed. Should not be far away.
