GARRUCHA (3) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 5½f at this track at his latest appearance. Form here over this distance is very solid. Should be prominent from the outset. Likely to feature. KICKATORP (1) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by a long neck over 5½f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLYING START (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 5½f at this track after he gave away a big start on the bend. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. BOY BIG (6) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 6f at this track six weeks ago. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with four wins from eight runs and is among the main hopes.
