Solid tempo with Nickers Boy leading from Cool Space and Viaconi. VIACONI (6) won’t get a better look at winning than this. Has been soft in betting in all three runs this time in but capable of much better than latest offering. Shades go on now and worth another look. COOL SPACE (3) has been thereabouts in all four runs to date and arrives here rock hard fit. With a well-used claim can feature. HIDDEN MOGUL (8) finds easier than most recent contest and this trip suits. In a small field is not out of it. DON’T TELL JACK (4) resumes off a short spell after mixed results last campaign. Should sprint well fresh in a limited line-up. NICKERS BOY (5) strips fitter second up and best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Viaconi win.
