LOVE IS WICKED (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 8 lengths when sixth in a 6½f contest at this track a week ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. C R'S MANDATE (7) lines up on the back of a 6 length fourth over 6½f at this track. Has a solid record here over this journey, winning on four occasions from 21 outings. Likely to be in the finish. DOCTOR PARDO (2) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start second at this track (Dirt) over 6½f when beaten 4 lengths. Winning claims on best figures. FEARNOUGHT (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Capable of featuring prominently.
