KING SHARJA (2) knuckled down strongly to get within a neck of the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track when resuming after a break. Should be winding up late again. THANKS DAD (4) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by a neck. Shaping up nicely and he looks sure to be in the mix. ASPIRE TO GLORY (8) improved sharply on his ninth two starts back at this track with a win over 1400m at Newcastle All Weather three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. ARC SHADOWFAX (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at Newcastle All Weather. This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely.
