CATATUMBO (8) finished 0.9 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1m1/4f at this track, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. RICHARD HOOTY (2) is racing well, scoring in a at this track (Synthetic) before finishing 0.9 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic). Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and three minor placings from six starts. Among the leading chances. ARAK (9) finished 3.5 lengths behind the winner in sixth over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) last start after lifting strongly to score in a. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be competitive. VILLAGE PREACHER (3) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing eighth over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic). Should run well.
