GRAPNEL (4) has switched yards since finishing fourth seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at Remington Park. Nicely placed here and expected to go well. RESTLESS (3) finished fifth over this distance, beaten 0. 8 lengths, at his latest outing. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring four times from seven starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. TALKIN PHAROAH (2) flew the gates and led throughout to score by 0. 8 lengths last start over this journey at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings here at this trip, including five wins. Should be involved in the finish. DISCREET DEVIL (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 4½f at this track, beaten 5. 5 lengths into fourth. Well placed to turn things around.
