SECRET JOURNEY (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CAESAREA (5) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on December 4. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. LORD BARANOF (2) was always well out of his ground when 18 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1710m at Turfway Park last start, a less impressive effort than his first-up sixth at Turfway Park the run before. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. MITOCHONDRIA (3) made his debut last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 9 lengths. Can improve and is a top-three chance.
