SIDESHOW BRUCE (2) finished second last start over 1980m at Addington, beaten 2.5 metres. Best recent result was a win at Addington three starts ago. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Finds a nice race, and he can turn the tables this time. IRON BRIGADE (1) beat the top pick at Addington two runs ago but couldn't repeat the dose at his latest appearance over 3200m there last time out when finishing fourth in a decent field. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FRANCO SINATRA (6) is a consistent performer with three top-three finishes on the trot. Only needs things to fall his way, and the good recent form can convert to a well-deserved win. RENEGADE (4) last appeared when finishing out of the money over 2600m at Addington six-and-a-half months ago. He has won a trial, and he has won fresh up in the past. Don't risk him.
