RIPS DREAM went up 9lb for easily beating Danehill Quest over the track and trip then made a bold bid over an extended 1m2f when caught on the line by Too Precious. He's up another 5lb so this won't be easy but he's progressing fast enough to defy the extra. Spanish Dawn ran well when stepping up in trip on Friday though she's yet to race over this far but A Few Bob Short has been unfortunate not to have won by now. Shane Ryder's charge has been narrowly beaten several times on Turf and his rider's claim should ensure he gets competitive again. Noble Intention has won once in 28 starts but Easy Boy often goes well here and could reward each-way support.
