Despite the small field Quizzle, That's Justified and Venting can set a decent tempo. WRITE YOUR NAME (6) has changed stables since winning here 4 weeks ago fresh up over 1200 metres. He won his only start here over this trip and in a very even field where any horse can win, he comes out on top at a bit of value. THAT'S JUSTIFIED (4) is another tough veteran who still retains plenty of zest for racing and was a solid enough fourth here nearly 2 weeks ago. He has 3 kilos less to carry this time and that could make all the difference in the run to the line. Can win. VENTING (5) has not missed a cheque in 9 starts on this circuit, including 4 wins, and tried hard for third in pretty much the same field last time out. Each way claims again. HETTINGER (1) was back to his best when beating most of these last time out. He is a proven weight carrier and can repeat the dose. SUGGESTED PLAY: Write Your Name each way.
