Plenty of pace from Irresistible Force, Nolan and Buffet Buster ahead of Line 'Em Up Loui. LINE 'EM UP LOUI (7) is lining up for a hat-trick after leading throughout in his last two. Leading rider aboard and will take beating again. SKOGAFOSS (8) has been freshened since finishing third here last time. Was beaten less than a length in fourth here the start prior. Good record over this course and distance and can find winning form. NOLAN (1) placed behind Line 'Em Up Loui last time. Senior rider goes aboard and can feature in the finish again. SWATOW (2) is third-up and should be ready to fire. Best figures stack up. MATERIALIST (6) has placed 2/2 this course and distance and deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Line 'Em Up Loui.
