MAKI MONARCHY (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Turf), finishing third and only 2. 5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m1/2f after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SPECIAL AWAKENING (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1m1/4f at Fairgrounds (Dirt), scoring by 0. 3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. E LION (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m1/2f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MAJOR DAX (9) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1m1/2f at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) after being handy for much of the way. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
