NATE THE GREAT (6) produced a good effort last start when second over this distance at this track (Synthetic), beaten 3 lengths. Has never missed the frame at this course, including four wins and four placings. One of the major players. BELLY OF JELLY (9) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. DRUNKEN SAILOR (8) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track (Synthetic) with success over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. IRONSIDES (1) finished third last time over 1m at this track (Turf) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.75 lengths. In the right race and is a top-three hope.
