JOHN RAMBO (10) has a solid record over this track and trip with three wins and a placing from six starts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Gets the services of gun hoop Thornton in the irons and a return to form looks on the cards. BRERETON (6) goes well around this circuit with two wins and two seconds from five outings and gets the reliable Gollan/Lang combination. Rates among the leading hopes. HOLD ON HONEY (1) has only missed a drum once in eight starts at this venue and gets 3kg off from the favourable draw. Ticks a few boxes. SLIPPIN' JIMMY (11) is three from three over this six-furlong journey and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Sure to give a sight. Former Godolphin galloper AMUR (5) next in line while fresh.
