Group 1 placegetter BENDOOG (1) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1m at this track (Dirt) and proved too strong, scoring by a nose. Open to plenty of improvement and will be a tough nut to crack again. LEADING CONTENDER (2) found plenty to get the prize by 2.75 lengths three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Winning rider Manuel Franco stays aboard. Leading contender. LORD CAPTAIN (6) hit winning form last time out at the third run of the campaign, scoring over 1m at this track (Dirt). Further improved, the extra ground is a plus, and another win is on the cards. ROCCO STRONG (7) finished eighth last time out over 1m1f at this track, beaten 24 lengths. Profiles to run well.
