COERCIVE (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only one length over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. HARPER'S AFLEET (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he was prominent at the turn. Will strip fitter and is among the main hopes. STAR OF ABRAHAM (6) started this preparation with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1207m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HASTEN (1) turned in another moderate effort last start when 14 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1207m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
