STRETCH (5) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Was handy all the way and finished 3 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 5½f at Remington Park (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ESSENTIAL TIME (4) could only manage seventh on dirt over 1m at Remington Park in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1m at this track more recently. Will find this much easier. Major player. DREWTONIAN (6) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 6½f at Remington Park (Dirt) seven weeks ago. Sure to play a major role. AWESOME NAME (3) is back from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Scored a good win at his final run last campaign at Remington Park (Dirt) over 6½f. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
