FLY FUTURA (7) finished eighth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1m2f at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a bold race. PINOT GRIGIO (11) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1m2f at this track. Big run expected. HELIOTROPE (9) finished 1.4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m1f at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders. CONTINENTALEXPRESS (3) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 1m2f at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
