CLAY'S BLACK OPAL (2) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to make amends. MR NEGATIVITY (3) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second after he got a long way back in the run over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MYSTERY MAN (5) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 18 lengths starting at $9.20. Elvin Gonzalez gets the best out of this nine-year-old gelding. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ELUSIVE D'ORO (1) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1207m at Canterbury Park. Strong top-three chance.
