CATALINA EXPRESS (6) resumes from a lay-off of seven months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 5½f at Colonial Downs (Turf). Looks the one to beat. EL GABRIELO (1) did a good job last start to finish second at Delta Downs (Dirt) over 5f, beaten 0.1 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. In the mix over the longer journey. FESTINATE (4) is a four-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Kathleen O'connell. By Mineshaft from Tandora. Respect any positive move in betting. SUIT ME UP CHARLIE (7) is a four-start maiden who has been in the money two times. Could only manage eighth at the latest appearance over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on two occasions. Worth including.
