FASCINATE JOHN (2) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 515m at The Gardens in a solid 29.65 on September 4. In winning form and can measure up again. BIGBAD ESME (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing eighth (22.84) in a Grade 5 at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Better than last start and can bounce back. FASCINATE ABBY (7) could manage only seventh at The Gardens last time but turned heads when posting a quick 22.89 over 400m at The Gardens the start prior. Top win two back and can measure up again. WATCH HER WIN (6) is worth consideration.

Hasn't threatened at her last couple but she does have good record over this track and distance. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (22.66) at this track over 388m. Top-three hope with the right run.

Facing tougher opposition than he has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Not going well enough to figure in this.
