FUTILE GESTURE (5) was prominent throughout last time when third over 1106m at this track (Turf), making it back-to-back minor placings since returning from a spell. Overdue and gets his chance to break through. METALLICAN (6) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten from two runs, the latest success coming over 1106m at this track (Turf). Expected to measure up yet again. JOKE TELLER (2) launched his career with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when prominent at the bend before winding up in second over 1106m at this track, beaten 0.1 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. ALL NESSED UP (4) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1106m at this track last time out. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
