THALBERG (2) is going well and is knocking on the door, last time out finishing second over 1106m at this track (Synthetic) and only one length from the winner. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and eight minor placings from 13 starts. Leading contender. CHIPS LEGACY (1) turned things around last start and scored by 2 lengths after being prominent at the bend over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Gaddiel A Martinez gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Likely to be there at the finish again. SYDNEY STREET (5) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 1.4 lengths, over 1308m at this track. Profiles to run well. SUMMERFEST (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
