LITTLE NI (1) last appeared seven weeks ago over 1509m at Woodbine when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the L Rivelli stable. Can make an immediate impact for the new mentor. KOSARI (3) saluted last start at this track (Dirt) over this distance after he was in contention on the bend. Form over this journey is strong, boasting five wins from 10 starts. Ronnie Huckaby who has three wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. ROME'S CONQUEST (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RAYMOND (5) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). A Birzer has registered two minor placings when on board. Best figures stack up.
