HEDGE THE RISK (4) is a distance specialist who progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0. 8 lengths from the winner in second over 1m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. CURLINS INCHARGE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind him. DOWN THE ISLANDS (10) finished third two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as public elect over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf). Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another bold race. GOLD PRIZE (8) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 1. 3 lengths over 1m at this track (Turf). Worth including.
