DRUNK ON SAKE (6) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 0.8 lengths over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from six outings. Sure to go well again. PERSISTEN (4) last appeared five weeks ago over 1673m at this track when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the J Michael Rogers stable. Definite winning chance in this line-up. NEOKING (1) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track (Synthetic) over 1673m, beaten 0.8 lengths. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and has to be respected. TIGRE (5) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into fifth over 1710m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
