OVERVIEW: MAXY BOMBER (5) nice run last start and that form line is very solid. A major winning chance here. POSTERIZED (3) top effort two starts ago and got too far back last start. Front line draw suits and can make amends. ROCKNMETRO (1) is a 3yo colt that had plenty of support at his race debut back but did things wrong. Has since trialled well and is worthy of another chance. SWISS LIGHTNING (13) racing with great zest but the second-row draw is challenging. Can run well again. THE MOUNTAIN (4) finished off well late last start. Hasn’t been far away and has claims. MUSELET (12) resumes here and enjoyed a good campaign prior to the break. Can run well fresh. WICHITA KANSAS (8) drawn to get a soft trip and has place claims. TAP TO PLAY (10) hasn’t been far way of late and can measure up here despite the draw.  SPEEDY HEALEY (6) has ability but drawn wide. Can never be dismissed. FLYING SPARKS (9) OUR TRUE COLOURS (11) and BONA KHAN (7) are first four hopes.
