EARNED NOT GIVEN (2) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the turn before winding up in second over 1m at this track, beaten 0.1 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. DYNODAVE (5) scored a dominant win at Del Mar (Turf) over 1m at his latest appearance on November 10. Looks a winning chance. CHECK'S ON THE WAY (6) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by half a length over 6f here last time. Expected to feature. IT'S A FACTOR (3) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at this track (Turf) over 1m. Should be poised just off the lead. Solid claims on best form.
