WHISKEY POINT (2) was safely held when third last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings from five starts at this circuit. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. FRACTURE (7) knuckled down strongly to get within a nose of the winner in second last start over 1m1/2f at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. TOTAL SILENCE (6) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DISTANT GALAXY (9) lines up on the back of a 8 length fourth over 6f at this track. Has a win and one placing at this journey from four starts. One of the better chances.
