GUNFIGHTER (1) turned in an eye-catching run last start over 6½f at this track, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Will prove tough to stop. Group 3 placegetter STAY FANTASTIC (5) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including eight wins. Likely improver with strong prospects. NEIGHBOR (2) improved last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m1/2f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ROOKIE YEAR (4) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track. Well placed and should be about the mark.
