VENIK (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Synthetic) over 1207m, beaten 1.5 lengths. S Spieth who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. MR SQUEAKY WHEELS (4) finished fourth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a sound record here with two wins from six starts. Has the right credentials. RIDING A DREAM (1) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from nine runs. Should be in the finish. TRANSACTIONAL (6) was last at the races when he finished sixth over 1609m at this track (Synthetic) on May 26. Has found the right race and is worth including.
