VENEZUELAN HOPE (3) really dug deep to salute by a nose three runs back at this track (Synthetic) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has never missed the frame here at this journey in four starts, including two wins. Among the leading chances. LOOKIN FOR ROSES (7) has two minor placings from three starts this time in work, the latest as favourite over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic). Suited in this and he is a real danger. TRIUMPHANT ROAD (11) has been kept fresh since finishing third over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic) four weeks ago. Was a determined winner two runs back. Has a decent record at this track. Shapes as one to consider. OCONEE LIFE (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well when returning from a break last time at this track (Synthetic), finishing second and only 0. 3 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m1/4f. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
