ROCAPOZZENE (6) sped across from a poor gate to lead last time over 7f at Belmont Park but dropped out of it in the run home. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. ROMERO (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at Albany, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. DARK CITY (1) scored narrowly over 5½f at this track last time out with this jockey Jessica Gray in the irons. Nice weight drop so he is one of the contenders again. AMINIKII (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on March 21 finishing ninth and beaten 8 lengths over 7f at Bendigo. Now under the care of new trainer Tom Pike. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
