KAKAO (1) did a great job to score by 12 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Likely to be there at the finish again. FINANCIAL WHIZ (6) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last start. Can feature prominently. FASTER (5) turned in a moderate run over this journey last time out, settling in a rearwards position and failing to make an impact when eighth over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Turf). Has the ability to figure prominently. UNAFFECTED (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 3.5 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
