MAXIMUM CAPACITY (9) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over this journey at this track (Dirt). Is yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Expected to measure up. BIG BET (1) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the bend before finishing second over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten half a length. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Asa Espinoza is a key engagement. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BABY WAYLON (4) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m1/2f at Santa Rosa. Can make his presence felt. CROWN MAGIC (10) finished 10 lengths behind the winner in sixth over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt) last start after lifting strongly to score when fresh from a lay-off two runs back. F Alvarado who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Among the top-three hopes.
