JUST THE JOB was thought of as a soft ground prospect earlier in his career so with a likelihood of give underfoot, we will chance him on this occasion. Friends Of Tina had no chance against a much superior rival last time out but was well ahead of the others. Loco Grande has just dipped below the ceiling of this race though not without good reason. Chalice Welcome makes a degree of appeal having finished a distant third to a very well handicapped Amuse Me. Massini Moon had shaped some promise in bumpers and makes a reappearance after a couple of seasons off the track. Zero Six Zoo is worth a second look from a yard that are in form.
