FIRST SHOT FIRED (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1m1/4f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. WILL OF A WARRIOR (1) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic). The engagement of Edwin Gonzalez is a positive move. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. YEMREHANAKRISTOS (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1m1/4f at this track three weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BAROQUEN RECORD (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
