DAVID OF ATHENS (2) was a dominant winner last time at this track over the same distance. He will be hard to beat in this sort of form, and he should go close again. LOCAL DYNASTY (4) returns from a layoff of 11 months. Worth noting, he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1900m at Meydan Dirt. Expect him to be very competitive. SADAATY (6) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but needed the run over 1600m at this track. His second-up record is very strong. Among the winning hopes. SWING VOTE (3) returns from a spell of 15 months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when seventh over 2011m at Listed level at Newcastle All Weather. Respect the early money for him, and include in all top 4 combos.
