WIN IRENE (16) made it three straight wins when resuming over 1400m at this track last start, getting home by a neck. Same scenario as the last success and will take beating again. LONGING NICE (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m after being in the firing line all the way. Has a high cruising speed. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. ESPRIT ALADDIN (15) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PALERMO (14) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1650m at this track. Nicely placed to break the run of outs.
