ASCENSION (3) was below his best last time when seventh over 7f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 5 lengths. Harry Coffey gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. JUNIPAL (4) Group 3 winner. Ran below expectations last time at Sandown-Hillside, finishing 13th and beaten 9 lengths starting at 9/1. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. MAKTOOB (11) started at 17/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 11th and beaten 5 lengths at Flemington over 1m. The engagement of Blaike Mcdougall is a positive move. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. GREEN FLY (9) finished second last start over 1m at Flemington, beaten a neck. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of a big run.
