FINAL JOKE (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1308m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. AMERICA'S POINT (2) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 10 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1308m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago as $3.3 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Blinkers applied so a bold showing is anticipated. COACH RUDY (1) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 1673m at this track (Dirt), beaten 9 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SPRING ST DREAMER (6) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 3 lengths to spare over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Yan Rodriguez sticks. Solid claims on best form.
