CONCORD BLUE (2) found one better last start at this track over 1200m after he was in contention on the bend. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including two wins. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. ELDORADO NOLBU (9) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. MORE THAN JOKE (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was in the firing line all the way over 1400m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race so he is sure to prove hard to beat. THE PLAYER (6) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
