UNCLECHARLIESGIFT (4) has been in the money at both starts this time in work, the latest a second over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Generally runs well third up from a spell so he looks very hard to beat. CLEVELAND POWER (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EMBER (1) was sent out favourite but could only finish fifth over 1609m at this track last time. Prior to that had been racing well, collecting two minor placings on end. Will drift back but wind up late. Should be competitive. MR HOOVER (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
