Got a surprise win on SOFT ground when well ridden two starts ago. Tough type that probably wanted rain.

Nothing went right last start over 2300m at home track. Blinkers on, going forward and D Oliver are all positives.


Gear Change: Blinkers FIRST TIME

Fought on OK, but no match for JUST FINE last start. Hard to see him winning at the weights.

Ran on solidly in good sectionals over 2300m last start. Honest stayer with decent form-lines.

12th

Back and only wound up very late over 2000m last start. Up to 2400m helps. Might need even further this prep.

2nd

Led and only run down late over 2300m at Newcastle last start. Can give some cheek from on-pace again.

Ran a very game 4th to DUAIS over 2000m before a tendon injury. Working back to form now. Decent knock-out chance.

Too far back and wound up OK over 2300m last start at Newcastle. Nice barrier. In the mix.

Mixes his form. Best efforts gives him a flukers hope after well beaten last start.

Chases honestly behind JUST FINE last start when well ridden over 2000m. Only 2400m form was as a 3YO. Around the mark.

1st

Boom horse that was so brave winning over 2000m last start after getting attacked on-pace. Dry track 2400m should be OK. Probably wins if he holds his form.

15. Al Aabir (barrier 8)

Ran on OK last start and suited over 2400m. Might need one more run and even more distance.
