On pace runners, 5, 6, 7, 8, 14. THE MINSTREL BOY presents for the first time since as table change. Excuses were offered after he finished unplaced last start at Moe and he can make a mockery of that unplaced effort when he steps back in distance today. CAUTIONARY TAIL has had little or no luck when he's bene produced on four different tracks at his most recent four starts. All four efforts were still more than solid! WORTHY STUNNAH has handed in honest efforts at Warwick (in a race that's produced strong form and then also at Ipswich since a spell. He will have scope to improve here. TO'O was stepping up into this distance range when he struck traffic problems at Lismore. He refused to shirk his task in defeat and he can only now present race-fitter for 1400m.
