CAPTAIN DORIAN (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 7 metres from the winner in third over 2030m here. Has the benefit of a good draw and rates a leading hope based on those recent efforts. JEFFCOATE (6) kicked off the campaign with back-to-back placing before breaking through last start, getting home by 1.3 metres at this venue. Could go on with it. HIDDEN DELIGHT (2) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid fifth at this circuit over 1609m. Hard to find fault from the favourable draw. LOVE LOU (3) is a player after finishing third when resuming over 1609m at this venue last time out. Strips fitter now.
