CASA LIMON (1) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by half a length over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Fitter for that last hitout and he looks hard to stop again. VIRTUE'S REWARD (5) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Will be better for that latest run and looks a big threat to the top selection. BAXTER (4) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from four runs this preparation, finishing 1.5 lengths away in third most recently over 1207m at this track. Sure to be competitive. PALACE GUARD (3) returns after a spell of six months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Has to be respected.
