ONLY A POET was unlucky in his last start being denied by a neck at the end of the marathon. He could finally get his reward in this kind of contest. But SILVANO'S SONG beat him easily the last time they met. The latter could confirm if seeing it out but has a bit more to do at the weights. NUCLEAR FORCE ran an encouraging race last time. He has proven stamina in the bank and may just be ready to finally win at this track. FLAG BEARER is in good form and should be right there. MO MENT has a tougher task against these but stayed on well to win his maiden. He can improve.
