CHARLI MICHAEL (4) finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 5f at this track after being prominent at the bend two weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. GOOD IDEA (5) performed above expectations last time over 6f at this track (Dirt), finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Should feature again. JOE PHILLIPS (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 6f at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to find winning ways. HAGLER (3) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in seventh over 5½f at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
