PIPER'S CAUSEWAY (1) started at 7/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing ninth and beaten 7 lengths at Santa Anita (Turf) over 6f after being prominent at the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. HELLADIC (4) found a couple better last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was prominent at the bend. Has a very good record over this journey with two wins from four starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best figures should see him run well. PROUD VETERAN (5) hasn't been able to break through for over a year, the latest finishing second over 4f124yards at this track (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. DUTTON (2) returned from a lay-off five weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 4f124yards at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
