JOHNNY APPLESEED showed good pace but tired late and was found to be fatigued. He can step up on that performance. SEA SHANTY was making up the ground nicely just behind him when he was eased and looked unlucky. He could get rewarded. ADDRESS THE NATION ran a decent race in what looked a strong field last time and is set to improve with the drop in class. VAR PARK was the fastest finisher in his last start when coming back to form. He can build on that and challenge for the win.
