FORT NECESSITY (1) Struggled with the pace when 6th last run at this track. Giving another go here and will appreciate a good draw. Will be positive in the run early. Will be in the finish. ARTEMUS GORDON (6) Ran on strongly when 3rd last time at this venue. First start for a new trainer. Has plenty of early speed. Should be in the finish. ROCKET RIBBON (4) Gave away some ground when 7th last time at this venue. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should race on the speed. Worth consideration. EL BERRINCHES (5) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd last start here and suited at this trip historically. Has shown early pace in races to date. Competing in a higher grade.
