STARATING (2) finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6½f at Belmont Park when when resuming from a lay-off as 5/2 favourite. Steps up in distance. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be tough to hold out. WHY ME (6) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 1m at Albany two weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. HE'S ARCHIE (9) clung on to finish third last start over 7f at this track, beaten a long neck. Nicely placed to find winning form. WOZZECK (7) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1m1/2f at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
