Houlihan is the likely leader at a keen tempo. COLONEL BOGEY (2) resumes from a long break but has placed 3/6 and has the figures to break through. Fitter for a trial and expected to go close. COOL AS YOU (3) is the clear danger if runs up to fresh-up effort. Got back and turned there but flashed home late to just miss. Big run and will go close with a repeat. That pair looks head and shoulders above the rest. LUCKY COUNTRY (7) finished a close-up third last time and has upside. One of the chances on best. NICALBI (8) is fitter for two runs back and gets chance to improve while GUBER (4) is also third-up and won't be far away. All four career placings have been here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Colonel Bogey should run well fresh.
