COOL SPACE (3) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing fourth over 4½f at Newcastle at the latest appearance on May 25. Looks to be in good order after placing in a trial. Sure to go well. NOR NOR WEST (2) finished second, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 5½f at Scone on debut four months ago and has been kept under wraps since. Placed in a recent trial. Will be better for that race experience and is a solid top-three chance. EXTREME COURAGE (7) debuted two-and-a-half weeks ago when he finished ninth over 4½f at Newcastle, beaten 5.5 lengths. Can improve sharply. MISS JUDAS (1) is yet to break through in seven runs but has been thereabouts. Last start was 5 lengths away in fourth over 5f at Kembla Grange. Won't find this as tough. Solid claims on best form.
