JAFFA ran on from a long way back after a slow start to finish a close-up 4th over 1450m last time. He should improve for the step up to this distance so will be hard to beat. SPACE MISSION and stablemate ONE OF THOSE DAYS (engaged to run at an earlier meeting) have a bit to find on that form but should be right in the mix. MILAN'S WORLD and LANCE ALOT also have earlier engagements but have shown enough to be competitive too. ROYALE JACKET, INDIAN SPICE and HAT AND HEELS complete the shortlist.
