TRANSATLANTIC (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 1.1 lengths last time out over 1500m in the LR Spear Chief Handicap at this track. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DEMON DARB (11) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 4.5 lengths over today's journey at this track. Is unbeaten in two starts at this course and distance. Among the leading chances. PIER (4) turned in a good performance last time over 1350m in the G3 BRC Sprint at Doomben, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third after he gave away a big start. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Right in the mix. TENZING (6) hit the line nicely last time to grab second, beaten one length, over today's journey in the LR Bernborough Cup at Doomben. Good record at this journey with four wins and nine minor placings from 16 starts and is not to be discounted.
