Fortinbrass has won five times around here, including off higher marks, so can never be ruled out. Ruth Carr's horses are in good form and Danish Duke will be better for a recent run after a long absence. He'd dropped to a lowly mark so is greatly respected though JAZZ LEGEND has been in such tremendous form on the track that he'll be difficult to contain in his hat-trick bid. He's only up 2lb from his latest success and he can take care of the veteran Space War, who will be having his 106th run and hasn't won in two years. Falcao was the shock winner of a claimer here last month before running reasonably well in a tougher handicap than this a few days later.
