AINT NO JOKE (6) Resuming after a spell. Led all the way to win by just short of 10L last run at the track. Likely to be well placed early. One of the major hopes. IRON MAN IRA (3) Set a strong tempo before tiring to place 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last run at this track. Should come to hand quickly. First appearance for a new trainer. Appears well in this. PRINCE OF TRUTH (2) Inched into 4th last time at the track and drawn nicely. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Serious player. GOLDFIRE (4) First up and ran over the top of them when winning first up last preparation at this venue. First start for a new trainer. Possesses good finishing speed. Not out of this.
