Barrack Street has run two fine races over the course and distance this summer and was only caught close home last time though receiving plenty of weight. Buckeye Shan has been looking as this sort of trip would suit, a remark that also applies to Red Jacket, who takes a big step up. SAM KING has had very little luck in-running in his two latest starts, both over the minimum trip. His pedigree suggests he'll be better off at this sort of distance and he can gain his first victory. Spicy Fruity needs some give in the ground so further rain would aid his cause.
