Avignon and Paratrooper can be prominent. VERCICAT (3) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 1250m at this track. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Overdue for a win and just missed in a similar race here last time. Can go one better. BEHAVE HARRIS (7) lines up on the back of a 2 length fourth over 1250m at this track as favourite. Race sets up well for him. PARATROOPER (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1250m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Nearing a win with placings three of last four. Genuine contender. LIKE DYNAMITE (6) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when fourth over 1200m at Kenilworth, beaten 3 lengths. Has ability and expected to feature.
