GAUCHER (5) Racing on a quick back up. Finished 4th last run at this venue. Happy to overlook that run and competing in a lower grade. Has early speed and positions nicely. Massive hope. QUATRE BRAS (7) Handy enough when winning by 2 3/4L last start around here and will find this grade more suitable. In good form this preparation. Displays good closing speed. Genuine winning chance. GENTLEMAN JOE (4) On a quick back up. Came in 2nd last run at this venue and challenged by weaker competitors. Has plenty of early speed. Has a positive draw. Can take this out. OLD PECULIER (6) First up after a 86 week break. Ran 4th last start at Kempton. Capable of a strong comeback. Deserves consideration.
