Group 2 placegetter POLITIKO (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1f80yards in the G2 Gallant Bob Stakes at this track (Dirt). Tackling a more suitable race so he is likely to play a big role. JC PRINCE OF TORTS (3) won when resuming then was less effective in stakes class when fifth at Group 3 level at this track (Dirt). Will find this much easier. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. MIDNIGHT POLITICS (2) Placed in a Group 1. Settled well back last time out before finishing tenth over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt). Edwin G Escobedo who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Sure to be competitive. APOLLITICAL WHIPLASH (1) fought on for third last start over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.8 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Likely improver with strong prospects.
