JOHN'S ROCK (1) is a distance specialist who finished seventh two runs back at Belterra Park (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as public elect after being in contention on the turn over 1m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). No reason he cannot salute again. NIKOLAOU (7) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 6f at Thistledown, beaten 10 lengths. That followed a win at Thistledown at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. WICKED WARRIOR (2) last appeared when he scored over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt) on August 13. Sure to make his presence felt. ONE TEN (5) showed good early speed over 1m at Thistledown (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 6 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and three minor placings from seven starts. Best form too good to ignore.
