PROTECTED (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Looks well placed so expect another big run. J J ZO ZO (4) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. POGI (5) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CASSATION (1) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1106m at this track (Turf), finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths. Can figure in the finish.
