GOLDEN BUCK (6) started at 5/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4. 5 lengths at this track over 7½f. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Tyrone Nelson gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Finds a nice race and can atone. BURN JAKEY BURN (1) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by a nose over 7½f at this track. Sound record at this distance with five wins and four minor placings from 12 runs and looks a top chance. NU SOUP FOR BABY (5) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 8 lengths over 7f at this track after being prominent at the bend. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. LUKA GRAZIE (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only a head over 7½f at this track. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
