Plenty of pace from Starcho Libre, Woodstock and Now East ahead of Merchant Of Greece. WOODSTOCK (10) is still learning but building nicely and should be ready to peak fourth-up after being beaten a long neck last time at Oakbank. Gets in well with the claim and should prove very tough to stop. NOW EAST (5) was poised to strike when resuming at Oakbank but just lacked a fitness edge. Is sure to have come on from that and gets in well with the 2kg claim. Expecting sharp improvement. BJARNE (2) finds the maiden win elusive but has some ratings littered through his form that can measure up here. Expect him to take a sit off the early speed and look to reel them in. STARCHO LIBRE (6) returns and looks best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Woodstock to win.
