VENIK (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the corner. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him. BARTULIA (2) is a genuine type with six minor placings from six starts this campaign. Gave away a big start before doing his best work late to finish one length from the winner in third last time out over 6½f at this track (Synthetic). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAXIMUM FAITH (1) continues to race well with a win in a at this track (Synthetic) before finishing 1.5 lengths away in second last time over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will be in this for a long way. RUNNINGFORJOY (6) showed little early speed last start then lengthened in good style in the straight to finish third at this track (Synthetic) over this journey. Can figure in the finish again.
