LAW PROFESSOR (7) won at this track and distance at his last outing nine weeks ago, the only appearance of that campaign. Good record at this journey with four wins and three minor placings from nine starts and looks a top chance. MASMAK (1) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by half a length over 1m at this track (Dirt). Has a formidable combination with Joel Rosario who has been aboard for his last two wins. Should be in the finish. FILM STAR (9) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by a nose last time out over 1m1/2f in Listed grade at Laurel (Dirt). Tricky draw to overcome but does have good gate speed. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. TABEGUACHE (11) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 0.1 lengths over 1m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and deserves respect.
