JANSEN (1) has been racing well with a string of top-four finishes. Put the writing on the wall when he came from the back row and finished second at his latest appearance at Melton, beaten 4.7 metres. The ace draw should ensure a cosy run so he could grab a well-deserved win. BIG NIK (10) resumes here after closing his maiden prep with a fourth at this venue in November. Tricky draw but he is likely to have developed with maturity and was readied with two trials. HILTONS SPIRIT (4) hasn't raced since his debut nine weeks ago but comes off a placing in a recent trial at Melton. ROM BARO (5) is stepping out for the first time. By Sweet Lou and hails from the Charlene Gusman stable. Placed in a recent trial so keep safe along with BETTOR PUNTER (6) who was readied for his return with a trial win.
