TAP THE DOT (4) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 10 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Remington Park two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. S Elliott who has eight wins when partnering stays on. Sure to play a big role. BIG BERNIE (1) finished a 10 length fourth on dirt at Remington Park two back then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at Remington Park over 1609m seven weeks ago. Progressing well and should be prominent again back on turf. CARLEA'S DREAM (2) finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1509m at Remington Park eight weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Form here at this journey is very good with two wins from four runs. One of the main contenders. MACKINNON (5) finished a 16 length fifth on dirt at Remington Park two back then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at Remington Park over 1710m seven weeks ago. Sure to make his presence felt again.
