LONG POND (6) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 1.3 lengths over 6½f at this track to make it two in succession. Sound record at this distance with two wins and three minor placings from seven runs and shapes as a key contender. BACHELOR PAD (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when ninth, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 1m1/2f after being in contention on the bend. Worth noting Rafael Manuel Hernandez goes aboard. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. WALTER ME LAD (2) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 7f at this track, an improvement on his ninth at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TRUEBELIEVE (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 5½f at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
