ARLINGTON (8) held on well to finish second last start over 1200m at Newcastle All Weather, beaten a nose as favourite. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. PORT HEDLAND (5) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work and looks close to a maiden win, the latest effort a third over 1020m at Wolverhampton. Ready to peak. LION'S DREAM (9) finished 3.5 lengths behind the winner in fifth over 1200m at Wolverhampton last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Will be in this for a long way. ASADJUMEIRAH (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 4 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
