NOID (3) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 1308m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Alexis Rios-Conde (Jnr) gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Has the ability to take this out. AIM FOR THE CORK (2) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 905m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record here at this journey with six wins and seven minor placings from 19 starts. Leading contender. HOPPING HENRY (4) finished fourth last start over 905m at this track (Dirt) after racing on the pace for much of the way. Must be included among the main hopes. GOLDEN KEY (7) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance seven months ago. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Osborne Smith. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
