HABEAS (2) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 6f at this track (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Diego A Herrera who has two wins when partnering stays on. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. DR SOULFIRE (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn as public elect over 6½f at this track (Turf). Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win again. JOHNNY DRAMA (6) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track (turf) over 6f on april 5. Definite top-three chance. Group 3 placegetter BARSABAS (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
