SMILING JOJO (4) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at this track (Dirt) over 905m. This looks a nice race for him to return to the winners' stall. SPEED OF THE NILE (6) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track (Dirt) over 905m. Has a solid record here at the distance with three wins and nine placings from 17 tries. Likely to feature. HOT PURSUIT (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just four times from 47 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 905m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. ARTETA (3) was beaten 8 lengths into seventh in a 905m contest at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to find some form.
