BLUFF (8) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 7½f at this track (Turf), beaten 1.75 lengths. Going well enough to test this field. EXCUSES (1) met with solid support last start over 7½f at this track (Turf) when third, beaten 2 lengths. Blinkers added in a positive sign from the stable. CURVED (5) is on debut. By Into Mischief and comes from the Saffie A Joseph (Jnr) stable. Bold showing expected. VENEZUELAN HOPE (2) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7½f at this track (Turf). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
