RUIVA (4) comes here off a last-start third, beaten 2 lengths, over 1005m at Ascot. Well placed and should be tough to beat. HOLMBY (5) impressed when successful on debut over 1006m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. CRAZY HOT MESS (3) went forward and proved too strong on debut last start, scoring with 1.3 lengths to spare over 1308m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Will be hard to run down again. BLOCKADE (6) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 8 lengths last time over 1006m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Among the top-three contenders.
