COUNTRY CAPER (10) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1710m at Lone Star Park Turf (Turf). One of the genuine hopes in the race. CLASSY EMPIRE (3) has not raced since he finished off last campaign with a strong win over 1609m at Will Rogers Downs (Dirt) four-and-a-half months ago. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Will play a major role. STONEY BRICK ROAD (11) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 10 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1308m at REMINGTON PARK when first up from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Can play a big role. RED MOUNTAIN (4) has notched up two dirt track wins in a row, the latest scoring by 0.8 lengths at Fair Meadows over 1308m eight weeks ago. Obed Sanchez has been the pilot at his last two wins. Not to be discounted.
