MAXIMUM PROMISE (1) stepped out on his debut over 1m at this track (Turf) four weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter and the blinkers going on adds to the appeal. RAG TREE (3) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished tenth at his last appearance over 1m at this track (Turf) on July 7 after he got a long way back in the run. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. COLONEL YORKE (8) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage ninth last start, beaten 12 lengths over 1m at this track (Turf). Will snag back from this draw but has a strong finish. Leading player based on that debut performance. COACH CLINT (5) was fair on debut last start when fourth over 5½f at this track (Turf). Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be competitive.
