KHAIKY'S COMMAND (7) gave a great sight when resuming last time over 5½f at this track when he raced up on the pace and fought on gamely only to be narrowly beaten. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Will be hard to stop. BENDETTIJOE (10) was well fancied last start over 1m at this track (Turf) when second, beaten 4 lengths. Winning rider O Mojica sticks. Bold showing expected. HOWBEIT (9) is racing well. Scored at Arapahoe Park (Dirt) in a then finished second, beaten a nose, over 7f at Arapahoe Park (Dirt) at the latest appearance two months ago. Has two wins from four starts at this circuit. One of the main contenders. THIRSTY THURSDAY (2) was safely held when seventh last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
