CRYPTOZONIC (2) was prominent from the outset when second over 7½f at this track (Turf) last time out. Form here over this distance is very solid. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. CHI TOWN HUSTLER (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 11 lengths when seventh in a 5f contest at this track five weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ZONG TOUGH (1) got well back over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 12 lengths away in eighth. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. HELLO HELLO MISTER (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing ninth at this track (Dirt) over 5f after he gave away a big start. Best figures measure up nicely. One of the chances.
