PEPPER BROOKS (5) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1308m at this track last time. Winning jockey stays aboard and is right in this. AWESOME BEAT (2) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 0.1 lengths last time out over 1408m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. HOLIDAY SNOOZE (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1811m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. EGBERT WHO (1) has been racing in great heart including a last start second over 1408m at this track, beaten 0.1 lengths. Well placed to figure prominently again.
