Plenty of pace from Boulder Jack, Alternate and Capital Win ahead of Castlefield Flyer. CASTLEFIELD FLYER (4) is worth following up. Resumed over 1200m and found the line nicely for a close-up third. Was a second-up winner at only other attempt and looks suited by the longer journey. Goes close. ALTERNATE (2) was a determined winner in easier company fresh but did add to a strong 1400m record. Goes even better second-up so fitter can measure up again. BOULDER JACK (6) is ready to hit best form and will take plenty of beating. The 1400m is his best trip and has placed 2/3 when third-up. Gets chance. NO OVERTAKING (5) has been thereabouts. First try this trip but in the mix on best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Castlefield Flyer.
