LORD SHELDON (5) got the upper hand late to score by 1. Lay-off. Big chance make it two on end. SURPRSINGLYPERFECT (6) clung on to finish second last start over 1m at this track (Dirt), beaten half a length when fresh from a lay-off. L Negron is a key engagement. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. HOUSE OF LORDS (9) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 1m at this track (Turf). Winning rider Silva Fausto Henrique Da sticks. Expected to measure up. WHAT A DUDE (7) scored on turf two runs back over 7½f at this track then followed it up with another win on turf over 1m at this track most recently. Hard to knock winning form. Definite each-way hope.
