VEEP (4) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1000m at this track. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. MORE EMPEROR (3) is a 11-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent outing over 1000m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. NEW GALILEO (9) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 18 lengths away in eighth over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. PARAMOUNT (5) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fifth last time out over 1300m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Deserves respect on best figures.
