SMARTY NOSE (4) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for second. Form at this track is solid. Should be in the finish. CODE CHARLIE (5) showed good speed here last time over 4f124yards until tiring late and finishing fifth, beaten 13 lengths. This is his optimum trip with four wins from six starts and is sure to run well. SGT POWELL (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 4½f at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from six runs. Should be in the finish. BLACKJACK AND BEER (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 4f124yards at this track, beaten 5 lengths. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
