WHISKEYINATEACUP (1) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance five months ago over 1106m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Lines up today for the first time for trainer Omar Razvi. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. BREAKING NEWS (2) returns after a spell of seven months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1006m at this track. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with six minor placings. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. BOLDISH (4) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Fairmount Park seven months ago. Shapes as one to consider. FIRST MASAMUNE (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on July 20, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths over 1673m at this track (Dirt). Definite top-three chance.
