LIFE SENTENCE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Eoin Walsh gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. QUEEN BEIRA (1) scored by 2.5 lengths last start over this journey at Mornington. Has a sound record at this journey with three wins and two minor placings. Rates highly and can measure up. NUTS 'N' BOLTS (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten 2 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. SEACRYPTION (12) was well beaten and faded right out of it last time at this track but gets some weight relief. Rates well in this and can do much better.
