Group 3 placegetter BERNBRAE (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 13 starts. Was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 1m3f at Ascot. Has the talent to figure prominently. PLAY WITH DESIRE (4) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by a neck last time out over 1m1 1/2f at this track. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. JURUENA GOLD (5) made significant late ground last start to get up for second over 1m at this track. All set to run well. MOMBASA (6) showed little early speed from an outside draw last time then wound up strongly to score a nose win over 1m at this track. Peter Knuckey has been the pilot at his last two wins. Solid claims on best form.
