Genuine tempo with a few of these capable of running them along. NEBRAAS (4) has gone a long time without a win but form this time in is sound with back to back seconds. Looks ready to win and well up to this level. Great record course and distance and gets chance to fire. UNITED COUNCIL (5) is fitter for three runs back and further improvement is anticipated. Should be ready to show nest. Excels at the course and distance. NAVAJO NATION (3) was safely held in the Grade 1 Summer Cup latest but well placed this level and gets chance to bounce back. POETS WARRIOR (2) is a lightly raced galloper with a strong record this course and at the distance and returns in a winnable race.
