HONEYQUIST (1) went fast early and went on to score by 0.8 lengths when resuming last time out over 5½f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Drawn to go forward again. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. NICO (7) is a seven-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Javier Contreras stable. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Parx (Dirt) four months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but has filled a minor placing three times from four runs when resuming. Expected to be in the finish. DUNCAN IDAHO (4) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last time out to build on a solid when resuming result. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. LITTLE ROO ROO (10) is fitter for two runs back from a lay-off, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten one length, at this track (Dirt) over 4½f. Marshall Mendez who has eight wins when partnering stays on. Capable of mixing it with these.
