SHANE FALCO (7) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track (Turf), finishing second and only half a length from the winner at the end of 1609m after being in the firing line on the corner. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BAYTOWN ANUBIS (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. PALAGIO (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at BELTERRA PARK (Dirt) over 1710m after being in contention all the way. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. AMERICAN BEAR (3) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 5 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
