WICKED WARRIOR (2) was prominent at the turn and finished 7 lengths from the winner in second last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance. Form over this journey is strong, boasting five wins from nine starts. Sure to feature. NIKOLAOU (1) produced a solid effort last time when third over 5½f in stakes class at Fort Erie after he was well back on straightening. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Likely to play a major role. AZTEC (5) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 6f at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. GOOD ON YA (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 6f at this track (Dirt). One of the contenders.
