PRIVATE THOUGHTS (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fifth over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) after he settled well back. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in and is a great chance to break through. SPY NOVEL (5) scored at this track (Synthetic) last time out with half a length to spare over today's journey. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins and a placing. Rates highly and can measure up. JUNCTION ROAD (6) wound up strongly only to just miss as favourite last start over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Hard to beat in this suitable race. CALLER (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Finds a suitable race and can continue the winning form.
