EMPERADOR D (2) scored by half a length last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was prominent at the turn. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Martin Arriaga who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. FAVORITE SHINE (3) went fast early over 320m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to score by half a length. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. IRATELY (1) disappointed as favourite last time when fourth over 320m at this track. Prior to that he had been in the money two races on end. Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. OTHERWORLDLY (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 320m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
