WESTPORT CAPTAIN (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at Los Alamitos, beaten 6 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Strips fitter and can take this out. JOEY BRACKETS (2) returns from a layoff of 11 months. Scored over 914m at this track to launch the last campaign. Now under the care of new trainer Monty R Meier. Should be hard to stop. LUCKY'S LOADED (3) finished 12 lengths back in seventh over 905m at this track (Dirt) last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. One of the leading hopes. TALISKER BAY (1) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1006m at Los Alamitos (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Capable of featuring.
