STRAPPING PROPHET (1) fought on for third last start over 6½f at Northam when he produced a huge finish, making it three minor placings in a row. Backmarker who keeps coming. Has the talent to figure prominently. BATTLE ON BATTLER (2) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 1. 1 lengths, over 7f21yards at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. SCURGEOFTHEWEST (3) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 5f130yards at this track. Won at his only try over this journey. Likely to play a major role. SPECIAL PLAN (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f21yards at this track, beaten 2. 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
