LARIO is 1 for 1 here and 1500m. His return was typical of an honest horse. He's a good chance in another deep race. EKANITE wasn't far behind LARIO in that Seymour race 1st up. HOUDINI has had four jump outs (spaced) since October for his return. He draws for a soft trail 1st up behind what should be genuine speed. SALCHOW is very fit and going ok for a race like this. Like him back to the 1500m. EL JAMES wasn't at his best in 2025 although his only run on a dry track was his best. He was a beaten $1.35 fav that day which indicates just how good his first preparation was. If leaders are having a good day then LADY POTATO HEAD must have a good chance. A good horse beat her last time in a BM70. COLOUR OUR WORLD was a touch flat 2nd up. She can do better. LETHAL THOUGHTS draws for a soft run and shouldn't be far away. MR BANNOCK has had a good grounding at the jump outs and he's going well.
