Global Traffic comes here in search of his hat-trick and he gets the nomination, ahead of King Of The Beers, Voss and Gold Response. The selection just got up to win last-time out, and although he has risen 4lbs in the handicap for that win, this race doesn't look any harder and with his claiming jockey easing the burden, he must have solid claims. Voss and King Of The Beers clashed just ten days ago with the latter coming out on top, however Voss looks to have more scope for improvement and is taken to reverse those placings. Mark Johnston had plenty of winners last week and so will he hoping that Greg Fairley can guide Voss to victory. King Of The Beer's win that day came at a huge price and was a major step up on all previous form. Given that he had shown little over this course previously, we must take him on today. Gold Response is consistent and should go well at a price, whilst Shrewd Dude was beaten by the selection last time out and could get closer today. However, we will stick with David Evans' Global Traffic to gain his hat-trick.
