WINTER FALCON (1) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at this track (Dirt) over 5f when he was beaten 1. 5 lengths. Has a good association with Manuel Americano with a run of four top-three results. Leading contender. BIG DON'S SMILING (4) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 10 lengths away in seventh over 5f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. HOUSE OF LORDS (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1m at Turf Paradise Turf, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GIANOLA (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
