EMPRESSUM (5) got the job done last start in Group 1 grade at this track (Dirt) over 1f180yards after he was prominent at the turn. Has a very good record over this journey with 24 wins from 34 starts. Has a formidable combination with Rodrigo Sigala Vallejo who has been aboard for his last two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. JERIKO (6) finished seventh last start, beaten 0.1 lengths, over 1f180yards at this track. Form over this journey is strong, boasting eight wins from 16 starts. Far easier assignment this time around. Leading contender. SCOOPS DYNASTY (2) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1f180yards in Group 1 class at this track (Dirt) but wasn't all that far from the winner. Form here at the trip is sound with seven wins and 10 minor placings from 19 runs. One to consider. HOOKED N GONE (1) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1f80yards at this track (Dirt) when he made late ground, beaten 1.75 lengths. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards.
