ALEX JOON (1) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1m at this track. Has the right profile. DECCAN PRINCE (3) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a eighth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1m at Fairgrounds. Goes well at this journey with three wins from seven starts. Likely to be in the finish. KENTUCKY GHOST (6) met with solid support last start over 1m at this track (Turf) when ninth, beaten 25 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. Group 1 winner EL ORIENTE (7) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt) after stalking the lead. Cannot be underestimated.
