SMOKEY MALONE (4) continued the great form last start, scoring by a head at this track over today's trip. Likely to measure up again. SULLIVAN BAY (2) resumed last time out and finished third over 3200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Has solid form at this track, scoring on two occasions from six starts. Looms large. ZOOKS (5) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.3 lengths of the winner in third last start over 3190m at Catterick. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from six tries and is one of the contenders. NEW YORK BAY (6) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into fifth over 3320m at Wolverhampton. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
