POP D'ORO (3) has registered two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when third over 6½f at this track (Dirt) after he was handy all the way. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DEVIL AMONG US (8) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 6½f at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GOLDENSUNRISE (11) finished out of the money when fresh from a lay-off two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 5f at Golden Gate Fields two months ago after being prominent at the turn. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be taken lightly. THE BIG CHEESEOLA (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track (Dirt) over 6½f after he had settled well back. Nicely placed to bounce back.
