CONTRABANDISTA (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 23 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 7f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. LE COOP (4) resumed last start over 7f at this track (Dirt) and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 11 lengths. Will drift back but is expected to be in the finish again. BET ALL THE GOLD (9) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 7f at this track (Dirt). Breaks from a wide alley but he is a solid top-three hope. MUCHO MACHO CAM (6) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1m1/4f contest at this track last time out by half a length. Sure to measure up.
