YUSUF (6) was safely held when second last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 25 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. MAGICO SECRETO (7) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 25 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ESCAPE PLAN (1) got the cash over 1100m at this track at his most recent appearance on October 21. Sure to make his presence felt. THE LANCE (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 25 lengths. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
