STEELRIVER (NAP) has won seven times around here and from higher marks. He completed a hat-trick on the track earlier in the year and was returning from a break when a very good third in a better handicap a couple of weeks ago. Machree has only had one run here and finished last but she's very much better than that and has been running well in better class handicaps on Turf. Dream House stayed on strongly over the track and trip a fortnight ago though that was in a Class 5 while Kingsholm's victory here in August came over 6f in Class 6. Heer We Go Again won a nursery here in December but has been racing on Turf for most of the summer.
