BAK DA MAN (2) has hit a purple patch of form putting back-to-back victories together and has drawn to get a soft run from gate two. Is yet to miss a drum in three runs around this circuit and can go right on with the job now. BEDFORD SQUARE (6) has a win and a placing from two runs over this course and distance and will be rock-hard fit for this staying test. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SOUTHERN STOCK (3) wasn't disgraced in Listed company at the latest effort and will find this assignment much easier. Don't disregard. COUP DE TONNERRE (4) goes well for Collis who has two wins from just three steers and again gets the benefit of his claim. One for the exotics players. INTUITU (9) is one from one over this track and trip and may trouble the judge with any luck in running.
