Group 3 placegetter HE HATE ME (6) has been kept fresh since finishing fourth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) a month ago.Was a determined winner two starts back.Winning rider Jamie Rodriguez stays aboard.Well placed and should be in the finish.SHOOT THEMESSENGER (1) turned in a decent effort last start when he made late ground to finish second over 6f at this track.Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.TINY TIN (12) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 24 lengths away in ninth over 1m1/2f at this track.This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders.EDDIE THE GREAT (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 5½f at this track, beaten 5 lengths.Expect a better run this time
