Solid effort when beaten just under 2l to finish runner-up over 1m2f here (maiden plate) a week ago; shown recent signs of improvement but still winless and defeats stacking up (13 on the bounce); easy enough to take on with stamina to prove at this new trip.

Last of seven over 1m2f here (maiden plate) behind two of these last Thursday; from respected stable and winless in six starts but has shown promise with third his top showing; Craig Zackey booked; very interesting as has been on the scene in the recent past.

Behind Epidaurus and Comic Artist (runner-up and fourth) here over 1m1f (maiden plate) when beaten 15l in May; needs to be respected.

Lightly raced (this just his third race); split a number of these rivals over 1m1f here (maiden plate) when fourth beaten 2½l last month.

Out of the frame when fourth over 1m2f here (maiden plate) a week ago - split Epidaurus and Evening News; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 15; steps into the unknown over new trip and not one to rely on.

Verdict
Captain's Express has to be seriously considered while Clairwood Breeze is one to consider. But EVENING NEWS is hard to look beyond. He is taken to reverse placings with those he reopposes.
