JACOB'S TIME (1) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 6 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6f at Kembla Grange a week-and-a-half ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. The testing material. HOW MUCH BETTER (2) was prominent throughout last time when second over 7½f at Kembla Grange, making it back-to-back minor placings since returning from a lay-off. Good chance to break through. NANTUCKET ISLAND (6) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when sixth over 7½f at Rosehill, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to bounce back to form. AL RAS BLUES (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
