ALLHALLOWTIDE (7) resumed over 7f last time out and turned in a solid effort to finish third at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Won at his only try over this journey. Ideally placed to take this out. BETTER EXPLAIN (2) returned from a break last start with a mediocre tenth over 6f at Gosford after giving away a big start. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. FIVE CROWNS (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 7f, beaten a nose. Should be at his peak now. Is a winner at this circuit. Capable of a big run. ALLEBASI (6) improved second up after a fair run to score last time by a nose over 6½f at this track. First try at the trip. Rates among the each way chances.
