CODE RUNNER (1) returns from a break of three months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1710m at Turf Paradise. Ideally placed to score while fresh. SIXWILLBERICH (4) is back at the races for the first time since October 30. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at Churchill Downs. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Should be hard to stop. AFRICAN WARRIOR (5) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1006m at Fairmount Park (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One to consider. HIGHLY PERFECT (3) finished fourth over 1673m at Fairmount Park (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on October 28. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
