GROOT (1) missed the placings last time out when beaten 19 lengths in ninth place over 1m in the G1 Summer Stakes at this track. Rates strongly and can break through here. CRUCIAL TAUNT (7) started at 11/4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 6½f. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MISTER MONOCLONAL (10) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 7 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at this track. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. DOADSTER (12) finished 16 lengths away in ninth at his last appearance over 6½f at this track on September 29. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.
