CASSIEL (5) ready to peak third-up with Roper's claim and gets his chance from the inside gate. Went hard early before fading in the straight with a disappointing ninth over 1100m at this track. Goes well here and the booking of Roper can see him return to winning form. ZULFIQAR (4) above average gelding who beat a handy field with the 58.5 kg when he spaced them over 1200m at this track. Has a fitness edge over most of these and can overcome the wide draw. OAKFIELD DUKE (6) anchored with the 61kg first-up when a fast finishing second over 1150m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Proven second-up and expect to see him a little closer to the speed tonight. Will be strong late. JUST IN TIME (8) Newcastle-trained mare resuming with a sound record. Big jump in class when she struggled in the heavy (10) conditions to finish sixth over 1400m at Rosehill in BM78 class last August. Returns with the two trials and not without each way prospects.
