Staphee should be able to comfortably find the front. LOVELY FRIENDS (1) he looks the winner here fresh up after being second in his last two runs. Well drawn in this field and handles both dry and wet ground. STAPHEE (2) is racing better than the single placing that came here shows. Ace gate for the third start in a row and is a top tier must in this line-up. BRADLEY (8) was a good effort at last start. His only placing so far came when third-up. Trifecta and first four must. RUM AND RUMOUR (4) he is racing better in the last three runs. Can place or be a first-four chance at best. GOOD DAY (3) is a chance here. Not out of this to place or be first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lovely Friends is a win wager.
