DON BOSCO (2) Thrashed the field when winning last start here and drawn beautifully. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. Has early speed and positions nicely. Cannot underestimate. PAMPLONA (5) Finished 5th last time at the track. Capable of a strong comeback. Stable is in form. Worth strong consideration. FINELY TUNED (3) Came in 4th last run at the track. Giving another go here and back to a rise in trip. Should muster plenty of early toe. Solid place bet prospects. SHACKLETON (6) In the money when 3rd last run at this venue and has a good draw. Jockey Vaclav Janacek is highly regarded. In fine form this preparation. Include in chances.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning last start at this track and has drawn to do little work. Undefeated last 2 attempts. Should jump out and bowl along. Strong claims.
