Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. GOLD ID (10) is back from a spell of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6f at this track. Likely to take beating. SWEET SONG (1) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 7f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
