P L JERICO (8) is in good form at present. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 metres. Must overcome a very wide draw. Leading hope based on those recent efforts. LMC MASS GEM (9) drew a wide gate last start and was never a genuine threat, beaten 13 metres into ninth at this track over 1609m. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to take out a race like this. SETIT AND FORGETIT (4) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 1609m at this track last time out. MAKING DREAMS (3) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1609m at this track.
