KADESH (2) got home by 11 lengths last time out over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Has six wins here. L A Batista who has four wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. STRIKE APPEAL (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1m at this track (Dirt). That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins from eight runs. Big chance once again. PEPPER PIKE (4) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. SMASH (5) ran well below his best last time over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth at 3/1. Has a high cruising speed. Should give backers a sight.
