LAST MAN STANDING (3) is racing well this time in work, including a last start win over 1408m at this track (Dirt) to bring up two wins from four runs in the campaign. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. CARVELLIAN QUEST (5) is a distance specialist who was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Laurel, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. TARPAULIN (6) was ridden quietly then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Right in this. ENDURING SPIRIT (7) has switched yards since finishing fourth five weeks ago over 1609m at this track.
