A Few Dollars More won a handicap here last May off 76 and has only had two subsequent runs so it's a surprise to see him 7lb lower. Cresendo has had three runs in maidens over 7f so Jim Bolger must believe he has the pace for this Glimmer Of Peace has been very consistent though the ground is an unknown factor but conditions won't be a concern to ENTER THE RED. He scored twice late last summer on soft going including over the course and distance in September from exactly the same mark. Barbeque won't mind the conditions though another furlong wouldn't go amiss.
