THE GUARDIAN (10) has five minor placings from six starts this time in work, the latest as favourite over 1200m at this track. Has a wide gate but looks the testing material. TRAMADOL (5) finished third last start over 1400m at this track to make it four minor placings from nine runs. Goes well here with three top-three finishes to his credit. Won't get too many better chances to break through. DON MASTERSON (7) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 9 lengths into sixth at his latest appearance over 1200m at Palermo. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give backers a great sight. AREDO (8) returns from a spell of 11 months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Rosario over 1200m when first-up last time in work.
