PASSION D ORO (6) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Robertino Diodoro stable. Finished off last campaign with a seventh at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) 12 weeks ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Can return in winning form. KOCHAN (5) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fourth over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. DOWN PERISCOPE (1) is overdue for a win with two recent placings, the latest finishing second over 1609m at this track (Dirt), and is down in the weights this time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Capable of testing this field. CARL ERSKINE (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in the frame.
