FANORE (5) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 17 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when tenth over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. LUCKY ROMANCE (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he can return to the winners' list. BEARING DOWN (1) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when fifth over 7f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. FABELMAN (6) was out of the money when resuming but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a second over 1m1/2f at this track. Should be in the mix again.
