Keen on DARK SIMBA (2) to break through. He did enough fresh at Sandown Lakeside over 1400m in an unsuitable slowly run race, finishing fourth. Much better suited on the big track out to 1600m with Shinn on who can take up a prominent role from a good gate. THINKING GOLD (6) resumes. He showed good ability last time in, placing in three runs before a spell. Kicks off at a suitable trip and has claims. AVONBEG (7) was huge odds on debut over this route but ran a good race, just finding one better. Comes under notice now. MADAM GRISELDA (9) steps up to 1600m third up and should be ready to improve. DRAW ATTENTION (8) next best.
