PASSIONED (8) hit the frame with a 6 length third on turf at this track two starts back. Disappointed last time though, again on the turf, at this track over 1m when 4. 5 lengths from the winner in sixth. Tough to beat back on the dirt. MASAKADO (7) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m1/4f at Delaware Park after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LIKEBELIVINGNMAGIC (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 5½f at this track, beaten 19 lengths into tenth. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. MR HUSTLE (1) was a winner on turf over 1m1/2f at Meadowlands in a then followed up with a minor placing, also on turf, over 1m1/2f at Meadowlands more recently. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and is among the main hopes.
