OSTRAKA (19) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 6½f at Scone. Tom Sherry has registered three minor placings when on board. Sure to run well. CRUEL SUMMER (14) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Newcastle over 6f after being in contention all the way. Should park just off the speed. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. BAROQUE ROAD (6) finished fifth over 6f at Newcastle when resuming last start, beaten only 1.4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JEDIBEEL (8) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 5½f at Scone, beaten 0.6 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
