CATTAIL COVE (3) was impressive when resuming last start, sitting on the pace and sticking on well to finish second in Group 1 grade at this track (Dirt). Overall record is sound when second-up and should be better for that first-up run. Will prove hard to beat. DEFENDING CHAMP (7) settled back but wound up late to finish sixth when resuming last start over 366m in Group 1 grade at this track (Dirt). Second-up record is strong. Will drift back but wind up late. Will be tough to hold out. CHEATER (2) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 274m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. BOARDWALK (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 274m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
