Coolbane West has been finding heavy ground against him and is better judged on a couple of much better runs in the autumn on quicker going. Winning point-to-pointer Model Cloud showed nothing in two runs over timber but did better when sent chasing last time. Lake Takapuna did better when allowed to take an early lead here last time and today's less testing conditions can help him into the frame though LAID BACK LUKE will be very difficult to beat. Sheila Lavery's bumper winner has been threatening to win a race over hurdles for some time and only just failed to hold off Mount Beckham at Down Royal on St Patrick's Day so should go one better.
