MAS RAPIDO (8) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 1m at Del Mar, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. NEWS AT TEN (1) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 5f at Del Mar, beaten 3 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. OSCAR JOY (3) missed the frame last time when seventh at Del Mar. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. With the blinkers added shapes as one to consider. MONEY MAKES MONEY (4) recorded his first win last start over 5f at Del Mar (Turf), getting home by 1.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Umberto Rispoli was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Must be respected now that the penny has dropped.
