Private Curwen and Oscar Booie to take up the running at a strong tempo. CHARM TELLER (9) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing at her past four starts and strikes a very winnable contest here. Strips fitter second-up and Cormack sticks in the irons following that first-up placing. Rates the testing material. COMBAT CRUSADER (1) returns from a lengthy spell but put in a career-best performance before the break and has tuned up for this with a recent trial. Top-hope if back in good order. SPRING'S GIFT (10) has had a few chances but has placed four of six over this track and trip and must be included in calculations. NATIONAL GOAL (4) is having his first run for the new stable and any market support must be noted. ARIK LAD (11) best of the rest from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charm Teller each-way.
