STAUNCH (2) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Likely improver who should go well. RICCELLI (10) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 1207m at Del Mar (Dirt). Likely improver who should go well. FIESTABOWLFOREMIKE (3) raced handy on debut last start and gave a good sight, holding on for second and beaten 3 lengths over 1408m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Must be included among the main hopes. GUN FOR GLORY (8) is back from a spell of four months. Debuted with a second, beaten 7 lengths, over 1106m at this track at his only appearance to date. One of the better chances.
