PEPERONI (11) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when seventh at this track over 1100m. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. This is a nice drop in grade so he is sure to be prominent. CINEMA PARADISO (9) was a solid third last time out over 1100m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win here at the previous outing. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JUDGE ROOM (1) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1000m at this track, finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Has a good record at this journey with seven wins from 67 starts. Strong top-three chance. SHINING STORY (3) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1000m at this track, beaten one length. Fitter for that run. In the right race and is one of the better hopes. Each way.
