STEVIN GOT EVEN (10) finished 0.6 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 302m at this track, an improvement on his first-up ninth at this track the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JJ CORONAS STAR (7) was only 0.4 lengths from the winner in third last time out in a small field over 274m at this track (Dirt) at the first run of the campaign. Will be fitter for that run, looks a winning chance. HEZA PILOTO (1) returns from a spell. Finished fourth at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep ten weeks ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. STRUT FOR PETES SAKE (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 229m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the turn. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
