UP THE KINGDOM (1) was in contention on the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1308m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. TEN PLUS TEN (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. THOMAS BENJAMIN (5) is a last-start winner seven-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 5.5 lengths over 1308m at this track. Generally goes well here with a win and two minor placings from seven tries. Should be involved in the finish. QUETZAL ISLAND (3) bounced back last start and scored by half a length over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Looks well placed so expect another big run.
