Dual Listed winner NAADIRR was racing in Group company last summer and generally performed with credit. He ran over the minimum trip for the first time in his career here three weeks ago and stayed on nicely after missing the break so this looks within his capabilities. Caspian Prince is much better over the minimum these days while Baccarat hasn't been seen since 2014, the year he landed the Wokingham. Banaadeer only landed a minor handicap here earlier this month and Divine didn't run as well as expected last month. Jamesie has won on Tapeta here in the past and generally performs with credit whatever the surface so he could snatch a share of the spoils at a fair price.
