BLAZING BO (6) in strong form with three wins from six attempts this campaign. Won two starts back in stakes class at this track and went close again last time out. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. EXACTING (1) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by half a length last time out over 1m1/2f at Listed level at this track. Winning rider Sven Balroop stays aboard. Among the leading chances. BIG NICK (4) struggling to break through and over a year since a win, last start finishing third over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at this track. Will find this much easier. Should be involved in the finish. MAGIC TIGER (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in contention.
