Group 1 placegetter RODEO DRIVE (6) did a good job last start to finish second in the G1 Allan Robertson Championship at Scottsville over 6f, beaten a neck. Cherry-ripe now. Has been in the money at all three starts this campaign, including a win. Sure to run well. POINTER (4) is racing well. Scored at this track in a then finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 5¾f at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. POBLANO (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 5½f at this track three weeks ago. Has upside and is well-placed to feature again. FORCE EIGHT (1) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 5¾f contest at this track last time out by 1.75 lengths. Key contender.
