CASPERNOVA (10) grows a leg for Duric who has three wins and a second from just four steers and has only missed a place once in seven career starts. Boasts a win and a runner-up finish from two attempts over this track and trip and looks a genuine chance of bringing up the hat-trick in this contest. ABOUT TO EXPLODE (2) has hit a purple patch of form winning his past two outings and is yet to taste defeat in two starts around this circuit. Respect the Gollan/Maloney combination. RUNWITHTHETIDE (6) will be rock-hard fit for this, draws low and gets some weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. BOOM SHOT (8) has placed four from five at this venue and is usually thereabouts. Can trouble the judge with any luck in running. ACTION KING (3) is racing very well this preparation and shouldn't be slept on.
