OVERDUE HONOR (1) last raced when successful by 0.8 lengths over 5f at Belterra Park (Turf) six-and-a-half months ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. GRAPHENE CASSOCK (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. JUST BECAUSE (6) got well back over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 36 lengths away in eighth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STOLICH (5) comes here off a break of eight months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6½f at Remington Park. Has switched to the Joel Zawitz yard. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
