KALATUA (6) is ready to break through after collecting his 4th minor placing in a row last time over 5f at Canterbury Park Turf (Turf) after being in contention all the way. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Nicely placed to find winning ways. IGNITING EMBERS (3) is yet to break through in 10 runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 7½f at Canterbury Park Turf (Turf) on May 30 after he was well back on straightening. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. NEOTERIC (1) is back after a break of nine weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 7f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). One of the leading chances. RUDIE WON'T FAIL (2) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 6f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Oaklawn Park over 6f. Solid top-three hope.
