CAPTAIN ARROW (6) scored by 1.75 lengths over 5f at this track when resuming from a lay-off last start. Yet to miss the frame in four starts over this course and distance. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. DANCE VARIETY (1) returns from a break of six months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 6f at Kenilworth. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. Group 3 placegetter ZIYASHA (2) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 6f in the G1 Golden Horse Sprint at Scottsville on June 1. Sure to make his presence felt. ICY BLAST (5) is back at the races for the first time since May 11. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at Kenilworth. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with four minor placings. Definite top-three chance.
