KIT KAT KIDD (1) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 5f at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. JAMAICAN ME (7) finds it hard to win with two victories from 29 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Nicely placed to test this line-up. HAIL THE CAT (6) finished fifth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn over 1m at this track (Dirt). No reason he cannot salute again. XANTHUS WRATH (2) is racing well without being able to break through, the latest effort a second over 1m at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago. Has a win and two minor placings at this trip from five starts so he is among the main chances.
