EXTRAPOLATION found further progress as he took his tally to 3 wins for the present campaign at Listowel back in September, responding well for pressure in the process. He shades the vote to continue the good work back from a break, with in-form Dancing Jeremy and low-mileage 7-y-o Harry Alonzo others to consider. Supreme Jet is another worth keeping an eye on back from a lengthy absence.
