DROPKICK MURPHY (9) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 5½f at this track (Synthetic) last time. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Expected to be in the finish. GEPARD (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 5f at this track (Synthetic). Will take advantage of the good draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HEALS THE SOUL (10) is having his first run since November 10. Has a very good fresh record, scoring four times including one over 5½f at this track at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. JET WINGS (6) never got into the race when seventh last time at this track (Synthetic) but drops in weight for this. Rates well and looks an each way chance on best form.
