GRIMES (5) scored by 0.8 lengths last time out over 5½f at this track (Synthetic). Has a very good record here including four wins from seven starts. One of the major players. NEOPHYTE (8) found one marginally better last start over 5f at this track (Synthetic) after being prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GABAGOOL (2) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 5½f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Faces an easier assignment so he can return to the winners' list. RAKA RAKA CRUZ (4) showed good early speed over 5f at this track (Synthetic) last time and went on to salute by 1.75 lengths. Has a superb record here at the journey with two wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Can figure in the outcome.
