THE KING'S UNCLE (3) wasn't far away last time and is edging towards a win, the latest effort a solid third over 7f at Ascot. Meets easier opposition this time. Well placed and sure to run well. CASH FLOW (5) was comfortably accounted for when eighth last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. That followed a good when resuming win at Geraldton. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SIDE SHOW (7) finds it hard to win with just one success from 16 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 7f at Ascot, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. I'M CRAFTY (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 7f at Ascot, beaten one length. Will be rock-hard fit. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
