THUNDERING (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CHICAGO THEATRE (9) produced a good effort last start when third over this distance at this track (Turf), beaten 2.25 lengths. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and one placing. Likely to feature. NOBLE FACTOR (6) won when resuming two starts ago but was less effective last time out when 3 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track (Turf). Form at this track is solid. One of the contenders. CHARLES J (4) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1710m at Aqueduct (Turf) on November 1. Sure to make his presence felt.
