SALACIOUS (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.5 lengths away in second over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CARTUCHO (4) is a three-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. Out of Group 1 winner Malibu Prayer. Is a leading contender. PATRIOT BLUECHIP (3) was never in contention when 16 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1m1/2f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth on debut at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SMOOTH PLAYER (6) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 25 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1m1/4f at this track (Dirt). Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
