Several contenders advance in trip to this sharp 2000m including RISING FORCE (2) who is consistent having landed a 1600m handicap at this course on penultimate start. Almost followed up and could be thereabouts again among this company. JOSEPH (1) remains a maiden. Handicapper is relenting after a fair recent fourth and the step up in distance might be worth exploring. BETA READER (6) suffered an awkward start here last time so did well considering. Might take a hand again. MASQOOL (3) has not been with his current trainer long. Return to 2000m may see him in a better light. Each way alternative.
