KNOCKANARA (8) returns from a break of nine months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 5½f at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Ideally placed to score while fresh. KARATE ISLAND (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a lay-off last time out. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. G Q WORTHY (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 16 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 7f at Colonial Downs, beaten 4. 5 lengths. D E Centeno gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BIKER BALEY (10) raced on the speed when resuming last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a major role.
