SNIPER JACK (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1609m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EVIL EMPIRE (6) finished second, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track (Synthetic) after he was in the firing line on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DEPTH PERCEPTION (2) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 11 lengths into fourth over 1673m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. WITTINGLY (3) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) when resuming from a spell, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
