Marcus Tregoning doesn't find winners easy to come by at present but Shane Kelly timed things to perfection on ATALANTA BAY here in May and the combination can score again off this 5lb higher mark but still in receipt of weight all round, Munsarim usually runs his race here but is exposed and course winner Warrigal appeals as the main danger. Jeremy Noseda is going through a strangely quiet time at present and his charge was tailed off last time in a Leicester three-horse affair. However, that was on a practically unraceable quagmire and previous efforts suggest he remains on a decent handicap mark. He also looks a potential improver after a handful of starts whilst Dalgig is a possible each-way poke.
