RICH GOLD (6) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start when he worked home well but found a couple better over 1m at this track, beaten only 0.2 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LYING GHOST (2) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at this track (Synthetic) over 1m when beaten 1.3 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. LOADED MUSKET (1) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EFFECTIVE GIG (4) built on a nice third two starts back at this track (Synthetic) with success over 1m at this track (Synthetic) two weeks ago, getting home by 2.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
