SQUARE CUT (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ALTAR BOY (3) settled well back then sprouted wings to score by 2 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LUSKIN HERO (2) found plenty to score by 2. 25 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One to consider. DELAGO LAD (1) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 5½f at this track, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Lek Maloney gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
