IL TORO D'ORO (4) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 1.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in distance. The testing material. HOW YA BEEN ANYWAY (3) is a 12-start maiden who wasn't far away last time when second over 1m3f at this track on February 2. Rates highly here on that effort. SHAMUKA (5) was never in contention last time over 1m at this track when he finished tenth, beaten 7 lengths. Expected to feature in the finish this time. FLAWLESS AMBITION (2) was beaten 4. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
