RACE COMMENT
STILL ROLLIN (4) drew wide in his first outing for Adam Ruggari but took advantage of a similar barrier to this here last start, leading before cruising home by close to 11m. That added to a good record at this distance and he can push forward again. Big chance to go back to back. HAS THE COURAGE (2) wasn't far away last week and drops to the distance where he placed here prior. Draws to play a role again. DIAMOND ECLIPSE (11) enjoys a class drop on the last attempt and while drawn deep he had some good form from similar barriers prior. SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (6) wasn't far from the placings last start and draws a couple of spots lower. MR TEDDY (7) will enjoy a class drop so can be competitive.
