MACHISTO (3) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 6½f at this track (Dirt). A Bocachica goes well on this five-year-old and is back on top. Sure to play a big role. CURTEIS (4) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m1/2f at this track. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with three minor placings from five tries. Looks a winning chance. GREAT KOSTAS (1) again failed to feature last start, finishing sixth and beaten 21 lengths over 1m at Laurel (Dirt). Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. LOUIE'S HEAT (8) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at Penn National, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out.
