ASTRO WORLD (8) is fresh from a spell of six-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Bunbury over 1400m. In a different yard now. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Belmont Park trial. Will prove tough to beat. MISTER RAFFLES (2) hasn't raced since finishing eighth at Ascot over 1400m three-and-a-half weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a recent trial at Belmont Park. Nicely placed and should be involved in the finish. CLASSIC RULER (4) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1000m at Ascot when resuming from a spell, beaten one length. This is an easier assignment and can get the job done. I'M NIPOTE (1) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 1600m at this track on January 12. Among the better hopes.
