EL ALTO HOMBRE (7) finished a 0.3 lengths second over 7½f at this track in a to keep his 100% top-three record on turf intact. Hit the frame again last time when third on dirt at this track over 6½f. Winning rider L A Mawing stays aboard. Expecting a bold showing. COASTAL WATERS (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. THE GOLDEN EGG (11) showed good speed here last time over 1m and led into the straight before being claimed and fading to finish fourth, beaten 0.1 lengths. One of the main contenders. SURPRISE FASHION (6) was safely held when third last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
