LIFE ON THE NILE (9) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 2.25 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. CONTRABANDISTA (4) finds it hard to win with just one success from 17 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. MR WORKS (3) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 12 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. VINCENZINO (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in seventh over 1m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
