VAST ART (10) was well fancied last start over 1m at Belmont Park when fifth, beaten 2 lengths. Tackles a much tougher assignment but is expected to be in the finish. MAN CRUSH (2) Group 3 placegetter. Raced on the speed and kept going to score by 1.1 lengths last time out over 6f at Belmont Park. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. RIVER RUBICON (3) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a second, beaten half a length, over 1m at Belmont Park. Backmarker who gets home hard. Should be competitive. GINGER BAKER (1) Group 3 placegetter. Showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten a neck, over this trip in the LR Farnley Stakes at Belmont Park. Worth noting Brad Parnham goes aboard. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to make a big impact.
