DASHING RUPERT (1) has not done much wrong in his career to date. He is back from a decent provincial race for a leading stable. Just needs some luck early from the barriers. SMOKE ON THE WATER (6) has to be a danger after two wins in the first prep then a long while off. Could well have track position and take advantage of that. RITZSUN (5) gets the blinkers on now to turn things around. Has been favoured in many recent outings. BUSH TELEGRAPH (2) resumes after a nice campaign which ended in town. Could need the run but has ability. ENSIGN PARKER (4) does enjoy this track.
