BILL NEEDLE (4) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing fourth over 1m1/2f at this track. Yet to break through at this trip but has registered two minor placings. Top contender. SPANISH SERENADE (1) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fourth over 6f at this track. Cherry-ripe now and will be tough to beat. ABSOLUTE CHAIRMAN (8) finished third last time over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
