PATCHES O'HOULIHAN (1) has won 11 from 13 and is unbeaten in four runs this campaign, including a track and distance victory last start. Rates highly and looks the one to beat again. WAR BOMBER (5) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start third in the G2 Nearctic Stakes at this track over 6f when beaten 2 lengths. Looks all set to grab that well-deserved win. REMUDA (3) resumes. Was racing well immediately prior to the break registering two minor placings in a row, the latest over this course and distance. Should be poised just off the lead. Should be involved in the finish. FLAG OF HONOUR (2) finished 6 lengths behind the winner in ninth place when resuming over 6f last start in the G2 Nearctic Stakes at this track. Unbeaten in three starts when second up. Should be much improved.
