GUAPONESS (7) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 6f at Parx (Dirt). Shaping up nicely and he is a key runner. KATIE'S NOTION (6) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 5½f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Worth noting Johan Rosado goes aboard. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PRINS FIRE (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 6f at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EVENLY DIVIDED (5) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 5½f at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Blinkers come off expected to run well.
