Bellick has the form to get involved though a wide draw makes this a difficult task. TRIBAL PATH can usually be relied on to do his best around here and had Tynamite just behind when scoring early last month. The latter, who has occupied the runners-up spot again subsequently, will be 2lb better off but the veteran can see him off again. Ken's Sam's is a standing dish here and though on a long losing run has dropped to his lowest mark for a very long time. Eastern Star is still a maiden but gradually dropping to a winnable mark.
