CRITICAL IMAGE (5) has been tackling some strong three-year-old company of late and hasn't been disgraced. He'll relish this big drop in class. Well placed and should prove hard to stop. SWEET WILLOW (1) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1980m at Addington. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. BENSON DUDE (6) finished fourth last start, beaten 10 metres at Cambridge Raceway over 1700m. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CALL SECURITY (4) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 2000m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago.
