RAUSCHENBERG (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when fourth in a 1500m contest at this track two months ago. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. ON COMMAND (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1000m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EASTWOOD (8) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1000m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. METALLO (4) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage eighth over 1500m at this track. Well-placed and can sneak into the finish.
