A winner over further in 2013, GABRIAL'S WAWA was dropped to 6f by Michael Squance and has won his last two outings over track and trip. He's worth sticking with raised only 3lb for his latest victory. Noverre To Go is usually thereabouts at this level and Tychaios has a shout off his current mark. Smidgen should be capable of better this year but hasn't raced since April while Skinny Love won a plating race here at this time last year but also returns from a lay-off. Encapsulated should be thereabouts again but usually finds at least one too good.
