The speedy trio Hawk Circle, Nothingelsematters and Gold Gunner can set the pace from the outset. GOLD GUNNER (3) followed up his maiden victory with a good third-place finish over this course and distance. He should have finished closer to the winner that day as he hung over the final 350m. He is a horse with plenty of scope and can return to winning form. NOTHINGELSEMATTERS (2) has decent recent form lines to his credit. He was running on when third over this course and distance last time. Rates well as a leading chance. ARABIAN RED (6) rallied late when finishing third over this course and distance last time. She has won once and finished third once from three starts over this course and distance. She is likely to race up on the speed and she should give the males a decent run for their money. SAND BANK (4) has shown some signs of a form return in his last two starts. Craig Zackey retains the ride and with a bit of luck from his wide draw of nine should be finishing in the money.
