CHECKN CARTEL (3) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. Jesus Rios Ayala who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. Group 1 placegetter OPTICAL ILLUSION (2) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 0.8 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1f180yards. Overdue for a win and looks well placed to break through. WINNERS SHARE (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by 0.3 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt). Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. MASK MANDATE (6) produced a fair effort to finish 0.8 lengths away in third last start over 1f180yards at this track after a win the run prior. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
