THIRTY FOUR COUPE (3) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in seventh over 6f at this track (Turf) last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. JOINT VENTURE (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1m at this track eight weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. DURAN (2) raced on the pace to the bend before fading to finish fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Sound record at this distance with two wins and three minor placings from seven runs and is expected to run well. NAUVOO (5) was beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 1m at this track at his latest appearance. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
