GODSEND (9) has been racing well this campaign, scoring last start over 6f at Turf Paradise (Dirt) to make it two wins from four runs this time in. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. MISTER MAFIOSO (4) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by 0.3 lengths over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and another big run will not surprise. JIN TONG (8) could only manage fourth on dirt over 6f at Turf Paradise in a then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1m at Turf Paradise more recently. Strong contender back on the dirt. Can atone. WELTON (5) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
