KURAMATA (8) returns from a lay-off. Finished second at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep 11 weeks ago. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Will give a great sight. MERLIN (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when tenth, beaten 22 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back. Has a solid record at the third run in and is ready to show what he can do. OCALA DREAM (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Turf), finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at 5/1. Hard to beat in this suitable race. Multiple Group 2 winner PUBLIC SECTOR (6) improved last start to finish third over 1m at this track. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
