Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. ADDRESS THE NATION (5) ran a fair race over 1200m on the Inside course last time when finishing fifth of eight. He won his penultimate outing over this distance and if putting his best foot forward may find himself in the winner's enclosure. WARM WINTER NITE (8) was an easy winner of his last start over 1160m on this course. He has won twice and finished second once from as many starts on this course. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. BOURBON RESERVE (9) followed up his maiden win with a decent fourth-place finish over this course and distance. He is likely to race up on the speed and fresh-up from a spell may be hard to peg back. MASTER CASPER (1) is better than his last start run would suggest as the jockey reported something to be amiss in running. He resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously is well worth considering.
